So nice of her.
We picked her up from the airport and went to her favorite place, IHOP. Yum.
My mom has 8 children. But sometimes her patience is a little short. She isn't above yelling, either. So a long road trip coul be interesting.
So grateful to have my mom help me out with the trip, but it really is asking a lot of her. Especially when the kids try her patience and make her practice self control.
And then it happened. We were all singing "on Top of Spaghetti" when her voice left. It didn't just quiet down. It left. And what remained was just quieter than a whisper.
No yelling.
No talking.
No telling the kids to stop whatever they were doing that was driving her crazy.
Self control? No problem. She just sat there and drove and didn't say a word.
Taneal occasionally giggled because the quiet was such a contrast from normal with Grammy.
At first Grammy would give dagger looks. After two days she gave up and resigned to silence.
It has been a fun trip. Even without words, Grammy has been fun. She just has to grin and bear it.
Good character building. Right?
