Our relationship with our Grandpa Hulbert is, shall we say, different than our relationship with Grandpa Weir. He likes to growl and tease, and get Pearl to run from him screaming (which she most obligingly does most often)
Grandpa and Sam's latest game is shooting each other with their Buzz Lightyear lazers. You can just imagine how that one goes. Sam has the face to match down pat!
Sam wins this battle, which doesn't bother Grandpa too much because he can't reach much past his knee. Pearl is running in terror, as is typical with these encounters.
What you doing, Grandpa? Shooting things. I mean, does a grandpa for a little boy get much cooler than that?
Grandpa does do sweet things, like he's always the one to get the kids bandaids, he lets Sam bring him book after book to his armchair on Sundays, and he will always take the kids for a walk before dinner when they just need to get out. However, I'm sure he'll be embarassed at any mention of niceness, so maybe we'll just leave it at the growling...
It's nice to have one nice grandpa (grandpa Weir) and one scary grandpa (grandpa Hulbert). All in all, I'm pretty sure my kids have no lack of love and attention.
