In the last few days two people have suggested I withhold something starting with S from a certain grumpy old man who lives in this house.
The first one to suggest it – well that will remain a secret!
Today I came home from worship practice to find this grumpy person having a strong disagreement with my youngest daughter. You see, my grump is a TVaholic. When he came home she was watching a movie on “his” TV — with some friends. She couldn’t get her DVD player to run the disc. He seemed to think she was deliberately sabotaging his evening.
I had to agree with her assessment. He was just being a grouch. So two rights make a right – right?
So then she pronounces, “You should just withhold “S” from him for a month.” This is the teenaged girl that freaks out and tells us to get a room if we exchange a kiss in the kitchen.
I am beginning to wonder what on earth people are thinking about me!
Good nite. I’m off to visit the grump.




She wants you to withhold Scotch from him for a month??
Now that’s an idea!
