A little story
about Granddad by
Judith C.
Moak
Granddad could
be a real character at times. He was
always planning some kind of mischief and
playing tricks on people. We could always
tell when he was up to something because
he would twist the ends of his bushy
eyebrows with his fingers and his eyes
would twinkle.
I remember one
time when Great Grandma Christian (Fannie)
came to visit. She was making an apron
out of quilt pieces, and without realizing
it she sewed part of the apron to the one
she was wearing and Granddad sat there and
watched her do it and didn't say a word,
he just got that twinkle in his eyes.
Grandma Christian noticed the devious look
he had. She realized that she had sewn
part of the apron to the one she was
wearing. Then she asked Granddad why he
didn't say anything. He looked at her
with a grin and simply said "I was having
too much fun watching you do it".
