Charlie wanted to play basketball in the church parking lot. I agreed, and was proud I was able to take the ball away from a Kindergartener.
Charlie got mad and kicked the ball. When I commented on his lack of sportsmanship he said, "I don't make the rules. I just follow them."

Tonight at supper we were discussing what we needed from the store. Charlie said he wanted a toy fishing set. Grandma said no. Without hesitation Charlie said,"You just move out of the house and I'll be the boss and get a fishing pole." Bad choice.

We were wrestling the other night and Charlie hit his head on the floor. He said, "Thanks Grandpa. Now my brain will make me do bad choices."
An attempt to chronicle the life of a Grandparent filling the role of Parent for a boy. This is complicated by the fact that the said Grandparent only raised girls, and this is a totally different species. Help me!
