I've said in the past, and I still feel the same now, that I don't want grandkids right now. Yes, one day of course, but not in the very near future. I have my reasons and I still think they're valid, but I won't go into that here.
Last night, Gayla and I were flipping through the channels because there was absolutely nothing on television. She and I have totally different tastes in TV shows anyway but last night there was nothing on that either of us liked. We stumbled onto "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". The original cartoon version. This is one of my favorite Christmas shows if not my most favorite. Gayla says she never liked it because the Grinch was so mean. Normally, she wouldn't sit there and watch something like that with me but for some reason last night she did and we watched the entire show.
As we were watching it occurred to me how cool it would be to be sitting there watching this classic Christmas show with our grandchildren. I could almost here them asking questions as to why the Grinch was doing the bad things he was doing.
"Why is he so mean Grampa?"
"Awe, his poor doggie Gramma."
"I don't like the Grinch Grampa!"
I even tried to explain some things in my head! I have to say, it really made we want some grandbabies right there and then. Wow. Who'da thought?
I still feel that now is not the time but I do know that it would be awfully nice to have some in the future.
