Hi Bill, Do you read them your silly stories about them? Do they like them? I bet they do. My son wanted me to write a book for him once. I did. He wanted it to be about Sonic the Hedgehog. I figured if I was going to write him a book, I could put a hedgehog in it, I could make it blue(ish) but it couldn't be Sonic, or I couldn't ever publish it. He was so mad at me for putting him in a book and that it wasn't about Sonic that he wouldn't even read it. Now I can't find it anywhere. All I can find is a character list. :(

Oh, how funny. Emberliam. Haha! I wondered if that was the representation of a Cockney accent or something. Together I bet they feel as forceful as a robot!

    What was that accent? Something Slavic I think.

Hi Bill, you've created a great script describing a scene from you interaction with your grandchildren. It is wonderfully confirming and you certainly speak funny to them, and they seem to love it. Good luck. Ulla:))

What a fun script. It's very imaginative. It sounds like you and your grandbabies have a lot of fun together. Little Kimberly will be talking non- stop before you know it. They grow so fast. It's very well-written, interesting, an enjoyable read.

Love this, Bill. Grandchildren everywhere should be so lucky. The loving dynamic between "Gramps" and the children is made all the more potent by the kids speaking using 'conventional' English. A delight to read. Author notes were a bonus. Cheers - DJ

You have set up a wonderful image here, your notes helped, of a granddad playing with his grand children, as granddad tries communicating in little language, had to read some lines a few times but got it all in the end, very well done****kahpot

This script tells a very cute story about how you as a grandfather have fun with your three little grandchildren. You really manage to make your words come out very humorously, and I think it must be extremely entertaining for the little ones. Then having the children climb onto each other to form a robot -- whose idea was that? Hilarious! That, and the idea of "collecting" Grandpa. Total cuteness! Very sweet. Thanks for sharing this.

Hm, I see we have been into the spirits again. You have such interesting trips. I wonder where they take you. What do you see, hear and do? I would like to follow and monitor your steps from time to time. LOL.

The way Bill speaks in this, it's sounds as if he's already been there. The children are rather precocious if they say "collect." Emily is quite advanced for one year old, and Bill seems a bit doddery to be the father. This sounds like fantasy. The robot is quite a surprise. Excellent description of the setting. Best of luck in the contest. judi

    Emily is almost five and this has all been exaggerated, unless you believe that nine month old Kimberly speaks in full sarcastic sentences. The robot is, of course, for not real.
