Overheard
Scene: My parent’s house, upstate NY. I am upstairs showering, Mom (or Grandma) is downstairs entertaining Baby.
Grandma: Sophia let’s go watch some quilting TV shows on Home and Garden TV. Quilting is fun. Quilting skips a generation and you’re going to be a quilter. None of that yucky knitting stuff for you.
Sophia: Grunt, gurgle
Wendy: Mom, I can hear you!
G: I know, why do you think I’m talking so loud?
S: Coo, gurgle, grunt.
You see what I’m up against here? That afternoon I took Sophia to her first knitting store (Spirit Works Knitting and Design) where so screamed her little head off.
Score for Sophia’s crafting soul: Grandma 1 point, Mama -1 point
ps – If you have not read the comments to my last post – you should. There is excellent advice, kind words and heartening stories. I did not intend to post and disappear. We took a trip to visit grandma and grandpa in Upstate NY. I am slowly getting back to each of you via email. What a fabulous community…
