My road warriors had been on punishment. They were grounded for not keeping their place as tidy as they should. It was reminiscent of when I was a child and I would go to one of my friends homes for them to come out to play and they couldn't come out because they were grounded.
Now me personally, I was normally given an option to get a spanking or be grounded for a week or two. Well for me there is nothing worse than being trapped. I had to get out so I always took the beating. See with my mouth as a child I would have ended up with more down time. My grandmother had a really strong personality that clashed very badly with my personality and we seemed to not see eye to eye on anything. Of course she would win on everything, I was a child and was to stay in a child's place.
Well, getting back to my post, my granddaughters were grounded. I was more hurt than they were. I tried to plea their case to no avail. Got all indignant and outside myself. They got grounded anyways. I received a plea not to take them anywhere while they were grounded. I agreed. When what I felt like doing was dropping to the floor and crying like a baby. Yes, a grown woman who is definitely a child at heart. I like getting out and having fun. Heck I just like getting out. I don't like drama and I don't like to gossip and with them I don't have to worry about either of the two.
They were finally off punishment after about a week. I felt like we had been let out of solitary confinement.
I picked them up from their school football game, it was the middle of the week. It was late but it was earlier than they normally finish up. I said let's go get something to eat. My youngest of the two asked if she could keep her cheerleader uniform on. I said yes. It was already after 8 p.m.
We were headed to get something to eat and I told them to get it together so they won't be put on punishment again. We were having a conversation and I relayed to them how I shy away from spending time with too many different folk because they always get the wrong impression that I think I'm better than others.
Well, don't you know my little cheer leading granddaughter had the audacity to wholeheartedly agree that I not only think I am better than other people but I flex as well. To my dismay my baby (oldest granddaughter) chimed in agreement to her sister.
My little cheerleader girl went on to recant one incident between her mother (my daughter) and myself where she felt I was acting as if I was better than my own birth given child and said I flexed on her by saying I have two degrees.
Really???
They say out of the mouth of babes come volumes. "Not Only Do You Think You're Better than Others You Flex As Well".
Do tell.
Well then. I told them I feel I am a very grounded person but apparently I have some work to do. Their reply "Yes, you do!"
By the way, we went to eat and they fell asleep in the booth we were sitting in. The waitress brought them to go boxes when she saw they had nodded off.
Then I flexed and told them they can't hang.
