BEST PHONE CALL OF THE DAY!

THIS MORNING WHILE AT WORK I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MY DAUGHTER HEATHER, ON BEHALF OF MY GRAND-DAUGHTER AVERY. (NOT QUITE 3 YRS. OLD)
AHHH, WAY TO TUG AT GRANDMA'S HEART STRINGS.

IT SEEMED AVERY HAD BEEN IN A "FUNK" AND WAS BEING A "BIT" WHINEY, FOR A BIG PORTION OF THE MORNING. DESPITE ALL OF HER EFFORTS HEATHER COULD NOT GET HER OUT OF THIS FUNK. YOU SEE ONCE THIS GIRL GETS SOMETHING INTO HER HEAD, THERE IS NO GETTING IT OUT, SHE IS NOT EASILY SIDE TRACKED LIKE OTHER CHILDREN HER AGE. APPARENTLY, AVERY JUST KEPT REPEATING "GET MY GWAMMA", "I WANT GWAMMA". SHE WAS NOT GOING TO GIVE IT UP.

UNFORTUNATELY I LIVE IN EXCESS OF 500 MILES AWAY, SO I CAN'T JUST RUN OVER AND GIVE HER A BIG HUG AND KISS, LIKE I WOULD LOVE TO DO. SO HENCE THE PHONE CALL.

O.K. WHEN SHE FIRST GOT ON THE PHONE, SHE SOUNDED SO PITIFUL, SHE WAS JUST SO PATHETIC, IT MADE ME WANT TO CRY RIGHT ALONG WITH HER. BUT, AFTER A MINUTE OF ME ACTING TOTALLY SILLY (GOOD THING I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE OFFICE AT THE TIME) AND US CHATTING ABOUT, LIP SINGING TO HANNAH MONTANA, PRINCESSES, SHOES & CUTES, COWS, PENGUINS, THE SOUNDS A CHOMPING CROCKODILE MAKES, BARKING LIKE A DOG, GIVING HER KISSES OVER THE PHONE SO SHE WOULD FEEL BETTER, AND ALL THE LOVING AND ATTENTION, THAT ONLY A GRANDMA CAN DO. SHE HANDED THE PHONE BACK TO HER MOMMY AND SHE WAS OFF, SKIPPING AND LAUGHING & OF COURSE BARKING LIKE A DOG. IT TOTALLY MELTED MY HEART TO HEAR HER NOW LAUGHING AND GIGGLING AND OH SO HAPPY, AND I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS ABLE TO DO THAT. (IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT PEOPLE).

THANK YOU FOR THE PHONE CALL, IT MADE ME HAPPY AND I TOO HUNG UP LAUGHING AND GIGGLING, (HOWEVER, NOT BARKING LIKE A DOG) WHAT A GREAT DAY AT WORK. LOVE YOU BABY!
