Grandfather's Remorse

Believe it or not, it JUST occurred to me that my Grandson is not like the others. I woke up from a much needed nap (see previous post) with a picture in my head of Charlie at Taekwondo class. All the other little children were sitting in line, cross-legged and placid. Charlie was doing somersaults. Another picture flashed. The kids were standing, at attention, and doing a respectful bow at the end of class. Charlie was spinning on one foot.

And so it goes. I'm sure the other Grandpas make fun of me. Mothers probably hide their children as we come by. Cars perform illegal u-turns to avoid going by us when we walk down the street.

As I think about it, I wouldn't have it any other way. Any kid will misbehave once in a while, but only Charlie can do it with STYLE.
