My daughter has the best grandpa. (I know what it's like to have a doting grandpa and it's pretty great.) He takes good care of her when he visits. We call him The Sandman because he has a magical ability to sing or soothe her to sleep (unlike the rest of us who just hope she won't cry when we put her down). He always wants to feed her and can't wait until he can take her for her first ice cream cone and her first train ride.
Bret told me that he overheard a conversation recently between Grandpa and another guy:
Guy: I'm taking my daughter to swim lessons tomorrow.
Grandpa: Oh? How old is she?
Guy: Nine.
Grandpa. My granddaughter's taking swim lessons — she's six months.
He later said he wanted to tell the guy that she's also taking music lessons, but didn't want to seem like he was bragging. She is a lucky girl.
P.S. No, Grandpa doesn't look like Grandpa Munster. But Grandpa Munster does look an awful lot like Paulie Walnuts.
