Nana's 2 Sense by Nana Jean
The kids are always so much fun. We watched five minutes each of the three movies they brought, ate, played with mini stuffed farm animals, ate, hunted wild animals in the dark with flash lights and feather swords and… ate. During the hunt, Kayden ran into the living room to report, “Nana, Nala’s making a funny noise.” He leads me into the bedroom with the torch of the flashlight. Camille has Nala cornered behind the window blind and is poking her with the sword (feather on a stick.). Nala is baring her teeth and hissing. Odd, I think, since this is the same feather she plays with in the daytime with no fear. Ok, I don’t attack her with it, but really miss prissy, it’s only a feather. I suggested we let the ‘wild cat’ go and take a swim in the lake – bath-time. They squeal with delight, run to the bathroom and strip before I even get there to turn the water on. The sleeping bags were fun until it was actually time to sleep in them so we all ended up in Nana’s big bed. After a spurt of little arms and legs flinging here and there, switching places several times and a small wet accident in the middle of the night, we finally got to slept. In the morning, the children break their night’s fast with a quick snack of dry cereal while I cook the real breakfast, pancakes. They are both munching away at some cinnamon granola; not the hoops, loops or stars they are used to, when Kayden asks, “Nana, is this cat food?” What? Cat food! “No, honey, it’s cinnamon granola cereal. Nana wouldn’t give you cat food. Cat food is for the kittys.” Why would this little boy think I would give him cat food? When I shared the story with Mom, she laughed and said Dad told Kayden “You’re going to Nana’s and she’s going to feed you cat food.” Aghh! They believe everything you tell them.
Real funny, dad. Nana Jean |
