The other day this Nana got her first time OUT by my 6 soon to be 7 Grandaughter……what a shock!! But then I was the one that suggested it and knew I deserved it!!
We just had our 10th grandbaby so after introducing him to his 3 sibling we went out to Subway and then to the Ice cream store. On the way back to the house K whispered to me, “Nana, don’t tell Gma that we had a ice cream because we want an ice cream punch-up before we go to bed.” I smiled and whispered back, ‘O.K. K I won’t tell her”
Being a Nana and forgetting things easily on the way home I said , “Gma, we went to Subway and then to the Ice cream store” OOps………….I somehow forgot so quickly to not tell Gma.” A little voice in the back of the van said, ‘Nana you said you wouldn’t tell” I quickly said, “Oh, I am so sorry what are you going to do with me?? Guess I need time out!!”
This child is my imaginary child…she goes along with whatever I dream up and even dreams up some things on her own. So when we got back to the house she told me that I was in Time OUT and led me over to the red chair in the living room. So there I sat and meakly said, “How long do I have to be in time out?” her reply was, “10 minutes” and then she started counting 1-2-3-up to 10 and stated that I was done!!
“O.K. are you going to come tell me what I did wrong??” She came over and looked me in the eyes and said, “Nana you told when you weren’t suppose to so you had to have time out” “Oh I am so sorry K I won’t do it again.” She quickly left to go play with her doll and my response was, ‘K you need to hug me and tell me you love me” She came over and as she does so very often said, ‘Nana I love you “with a big hug.
Later we told her mommy about the whole thing and her mommy wanted to know if we were O.K. with each other and K said, ” of course”
Guess I better watch what I say and what I tell others because next time I might just be sitting there for 62 minutes, especially if she has me sit for my age!!! Goodness….that would be forever!!!
