Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday I woke up with my right knee really hurting. This sometimes happens, so I took two Tylenol and pulled on my knee elastic sleeve, and I took it easy until the Tylenol kicked in. I babysat my two grandsons all afternoon, but luckily they were happy just being at their house and playing. All I had to do was follow the four year old's directions and feed them like baby birds, and the weather was so dreary anyway, none of us felt like being in their back yard. One of my tasks was to spin the baby's spinner toy as if I was jacking up a car, as the older boy was pretending he had an auto repair shop. It seemed to involve every toy in the house, so once in a while I had to insist he let the eighteen month old be allowed to take the toddler trike or wooden truck and use it so HE had something to play with. I think because both are in preschool five days a week, they enjoy relaxing at home. Finally daddy returned home first, and I left. When we ordered pizza for dinner back home it seemed like a good idea, but it was Saturday night and it took until almost eight o'clock for them to deliver it to our door. We watched the movie "Beginners", which I love and my husband does not, and even today he had two more reasons why he didn't like it. Christopher Plummer won a supporting Oscar for his performance, and I think the script is witty and Ewan MacGregor adorable, but my husband didn't like any of the characters. When the movie choice leans my way, my husband grumbles and protests. But fair is fair, didn't I just watch Dwayne Johnson in "Rampage"? I rest my case.
