I Will Tell Grandpa On You
My four-year-old grandson
ran to the house to tell grandpa
to make me stop building a fire.
His older siblings laughed.
Toasted marshmallows.
“I am calling 911
and the Fire Department!” he
yelled from the porch.
“Come back and we can toast smores,” I said.
He stuck out his tongue.
“He came running in demanding my phone,”
my husband told me later, “so he could call
911 and the fire department.”
“And he wanted you to tell me to stop, right?”
I asked him.
We both laughed.
Four does not understand yet who
the boss is.
