Of course we teach our children to be polite, to say please and thank you, but it rebounded on me this morning. At the breakfast table, I said to Kiki: "Let me pour you some milk."
She replied, solemnly: "Say it properly, Grandpa."
So I asked "Please may I pour you some milk, Kiki?"
"Yes, Grandpa, you may," she replied with regal solemnity.
It's not easy being a Grandpa.
Another example. I was playing "I Spy" with Sophie, and it was her turn. She came up with: "I spy with my little eye something beginning with W I T C."
I couldn't crack this one and gave up.
"Where Is The Cat," said Sophie triumphantly.
I think I am going to take up something easier, like Quantum Mechanics.
