Grandma was wrapping gifts
Lucy, four, was "helping".
One of those times when
help slows you down.
Me, I am sacked out on the sofa
Waiting for sanity to return
and relieve me of a bad cold.
Grandma went to the kitchen
Lucy stayed wrapping.
In a few, she comes over to my hole
where I am residing and says,
"Grandpa, I brought you a present."
I looked up and there she stands.
Wrapping paper taped around her arm.
She said, **"Go ahead and open it Grandpa."
"Open it? Your arm?"** being a little slow.
"Yes Grandpa open your present."
She stands there with this
expectant expression beaming.
A moment later the fog cleared
Grandpa open the wrapped arm
and with great "surprise" exclaimed!
**"This is the best Christmas present ever."
"I love it!"** I kissed her arm and Lucy's face
as a smile spread across her face.
**"This is the best Christmas present
ever Lucy. Thank you!"**
And she was off to the next adventure.
Never know what she will come up with.
Every day is an adventure.
