The Power of 'grammah', the Admiral

[spartonboat1]

It is winter, so now a slow time story. We have had our Hatt for 20 years and my granddaughter has ridden on her, since tiny. So I have a right to post this (I guess).

So I am working from home, during a Holiday, when I used to be a Road Warrior. I am working in my office, a converted bedroom- you RW's know the drill.

My 4 yr old granddaughter comes in the office, while I am on my PC. 'Grandpa, can I get on the computer...' (she is very accomplished)? But I respond, 'Gee, I am sorry, but Grandpa is working'. 'Ok', she says and leaves.

I little while later, she comes back. 'Grandpa, Grandma says she wants you'. Well, I run down stairs and, where they are fixing holiday dinner. I ask the Admiral, aka Grandma, 'Tori says you wanted me'. 'No', she says, 'I didn't ask for you'. Back upstairs I go.

Well, there she sits in my chair and gives me a combo wry and cute grin, but stays put. "Gotcha"! I had been had by a 4 year old, using the power of 'Grandma' the Admiral.

We had 55mph winds in Muskegon last night and Lake Effect snow is coming...the Ides of Winter are upon us!
