Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I spent the day with my one and a half year old grandson, and we had fun.  We went to the park, and he was pushed in the swing, then he rode a rocket ship and another plastic vehicle for a while, and then got up and down a small slide by himself.  He organized the trucks, getting them out of the sandbox, then pushing them back in.  After an hour, he announced "snack" and I put him in the stroller with graham crackers and we headed home for lunch, a bottle, then a nap.  He woke up happy and ready to read books and rock in the rocking chair.  After my daughter picked him up, I lay on my bed and tried to focus my eyes on the mystery I was reading, but I was zoned out.  When my daughter called later to suggest I join them at a nearby pub for a very early dinner, I happily strolled down a few blocks, and we ate chips, had a beer, then I had a fried green tomato for dinner.  It was delicious.  They dropped me home, and I intend to watch something mindless on TV or a DVD.  My husband's away, so I can pick anything I wish.  Nice day!
