I was walking down the hallway, off to bed and notice the grandboy’s door handle sloooooowly turning.<\/p>\n
So I stand at the door. And wait.<\/p>\n
The door silently opens a tiny bit and I see a lone eyeball peeking out.<\/p>\n
I wait.<\/p>\n
Then comes the little voice: “Gwumpa what you doin’?”<\/p>\n
Me (trying to look and sound stern): “What are YOU doin’?”<\/p>\n
“Nothin’ gwumpa” (door is still only cracked open and the eye unblinking)<\/p>\n
“Then go do nothin’ in your room.”<\/p>\n
“Okay gwumpa” The door silently closes, eye still staring me down, then I hear the click of the latch. And then a giggle.<\/p>\n
