My Instead: My grandkids and I built human pyramids.
It was my lucky night. My daughter Robin asked if I wanted the
boys tonight. My evening was open, so yes! Then my daughter-in-law Shaundra
texted me to see if I wanted “two lovely grandchildren to keep me company for a
few hours". Talk about synchronicity! Of course, I said yes!
I picked up the boys from their first school dance and listened to
their stories of “romance”. Okay, maybe not so much. Thankfully, they are still
boys and not really into the “girl thing” yet…well, at least not into any of
them in their class. Shaundra and my son Kyle dropped off Abbey and Andy at my
house and were on their way for a nice quiet dinner alone.
Not really concerned about what the kids wanted to do, I said “Let’s
build pyramids!” They were a little confused until I explained what I meant. Abbey
was the first to be the pinnacle. The boys “willingly” knelt down and Abbey
mounted. Andy was having his own fun climbing into and around the boys’ limbs. Abbey
got brave and then stood up to show off her cheerleading aspirations. Andy was
next with a little help from me and Abbey. He was king of the mountain! Tyler
and Danny each had their turn with me as part of the pyramid foundation. Then
it was my turn. Why should I miss out on all the fun! I think the boys were
proud that they could hold me up, but they drew the line when I hinted that I
wanted to stand up next.
After the pyramid building, we started doing headstands again.
Danny is a pro and Tyler gave it his best shot. Then Kyle and Shaundra arrived
to get the kids. I begged Shaundra to show off her talents at head standing,
which she did. The fun settled down after the two little ones left...I fed
the boys and then got busy catching up on my writing.
My hope is that we weren’t just building pyramids…
