Very nicely done. As a grandparent, I agree with you about the exhausting bit.

Adorable kids! Every bit of this story works for me. Love it! Put the last few lines in the present-tense to match the rest of the writing, and you've got perfection!

Sorry, it's the editor in me....

Cute story, John. I was exhausted just reading about the energy level of these three kids! And, you're right--you need to be young enough to deal with that energy.

I loved your "eavesdropping". The broccoli in the milk was priceless though.

I never imagined how entertaining grandchildren would be, before I had my 6, I love to listen to their little voices and conversations so innocent and amusing. I am guilty of hiding and listening in.
Your story is entertaining to say the least.

Well done, Mary

Hi there,

this was an entertaining little piece. I have an almost four year old at home and I often wonder what goes on in her head! Her cousins were around on Sunday - nightmare - they are 2 and 7. The youngest is a bully and the eldest soft and more immature than my little one! All the screaming and so on for five hours!

To make it worse, the cousins are bi-lingual, so it was in English and Japanese!

Anyway, nice write and enjoy the solitude - I know I am.
