Why is my grandson so cute and WHY is he so tall?
My grandson, ‘Pooper’ as I call him, is 2 and a half. He’s a genius. I know this because he has charmed every single person with whom he has come in contact. How does he do it? The kid is a crack up. He’s also very kinetic. He’s a bundle of energy, he’s graceful and athletic and he’s smart as hell.
He’s also really, really funny. The other day his mom was speaking with my mom and Pooper held his hand up as if to say ‘talk to the hand’ and said, ‘Ssssh! I’m talking to Yaya!’ That’s his name for my mom. He then began a discussion about ‘bean beans’ (green beans) and his pal Elmo. (Mehmo) Mom barely concealed her laughter as she retold the story to me on the phone. I could hear him in the background telling her that he NEEDED her to help him with the DVD player. THEN I heard him jump from the couch to the easy chair. He thinks he’s a gymnast. He’s already 39 inches tall. Much taller than any gymnast I know of…aw, that was mean.
Another time, his mom was baking peanut butter blossoms (a family tradition) and she asked him if she should unwrap all of the Hershey’s kisses first or wait and he tapped his little chin with his forefinger and said, ‘I’m thiiinking’ then held up his forefinger and shouted, ‘I GOT IT!’ He began unwrapping the candy merrily and his mom stood there like a doofus. She called me about two minutes later. I could hear him shouting, “I GOT IT MOMMY! LET’S GO!”
The kid is killer, I tell you…he tells knock knock jokes. Okay, so I don’t get ‘em, but he’s only 2 1/2.
Knock knock
Who’s there?
Jeremiah.
Jeremiah who?
THAT’S ME!
He doesn’t really have the subtle nuances of the knock knock format, but he’s thinking…
I think he gets his height from me. His mom is short as hell. He’s already just about half her height now.
Pray he’s good at basketball.

he’s a handful. I get to hang out with him this coming weekend and you can believe i’m gonna show him off all over town.
i’ll try to get some pics.
i’m bursting with fruit flavor.
he’s the cutest thing in the world. and he’s very sensitive. naturally, you know that i am a goner already. it’s shameful the way i act.
i don’t care. he’s only gonna be this age once.
once he gets older he won’t think i’m so cool.
that’s the part that sucks. once they get older, they start thinking for themselves…havin’ opinions, other friends…growin’ up…damn them!
heh. i’m a stinker.
