Greg and Keely were on Day 3 of a six-day grandparenting experiment, babysitting their three-year-old granddaughterâand letâs just say it didnât go as smoothly as past visits.
Greg, in an effort to be the fun grandpa, instead reduced his granddaughter to tearsâmultiple times.
The culprit? A toy cell phone and an unshakable commitment to realism.
Greg would answer the phone, then rattle off her Social Security number, PIN, and grandmotherâs maiden name before pulling the phone away and asking:
“Did you order a John Deere tractor?”
She shook her head, terrified.
Still in character, Greg spoke into the thick orange and yellow plastic phone, loaded with Muppet-faced buttons:
“She says she didnât order a John Deere 700 series tractor with port and starboard attachments. No, I canât use one. Our garden isnât big enough, and we donât plan on buying a farm.”
Cue: 10 minutes of uncontrollable sobbing.
Keely laughedâuntil she didnât.
“Grandpa, youâre scaring her.”
Lesson learned: Know your audience. Also, check your credit report after spending a night at Meemaw and Grandpaâs house.
