A toddler is spending the day with his grandparents. |
| My grandma waddles after me; I have her glasses - she can't see. I run a tipsy toddle style; she tries to follow for a while. Her dentures click and clack about as she and Gramps begin to shout. I let her grab me in the yard; her face is red, she's breathing hard. She straps me in the highest chair; I'm trapped just like a thief in there. She tries to feed me gooey stuff, but I escape, run in the buff. My grandpa tries to chase me, too, but only one foot has a shoe. I run around the lawn with ease, but Grandpa wobbles with his knees. With dirt and mud up to my head, my bare feet dance back to the bed. I climb the crib and fall inside, then Teddy shows me where to hide. I giggle from inside my crib, without my clothes and just a bib. My gram and gramps fall fast asleep upon the couch without a peep. My mom comes in, I falsely cry; she wakes her folks to say goodbye. I will return, it's getting late; my gram and gramps can hardly wait. |
