Beth and Grandma

Beth has been wearing Grandma out with her repeated requests for yet another "Read to me?" of her new Monsters Inc storybook. Exasperated, Grandma was heard to say,"I'm so fed up with reading the same story over and over again! I know the story by heart already!"

"What's fed up?" asked Beth innocently.

The book comes with a cassette tape and read-along CD. This afternoon, Beth popped the CD into my notebook. All was well as she followed the narration and watched the movie. Suddenly she started crying and ejected the CD before the movie was over. I asked her what happened and she said the movie was scary.

When Grandma is not carrying Bub and marvelling over her appetite, she's teaching Beth (this morning it was maths using coins), or making her breakfast or tea, or scooping up after Scottie. She's appalled that we leave poop lying around in the yard. That the stuff's biodegradable and good for the soil doesn't make sense to her. Wait till she sees my cousin's yard, haha.
