the family told me that i’ve established a pattern of putting the grand babies inside of all kinds of stuff.
i say, we are in it together and they put me up to it.
we all had a great laugh when i was giving one of them a ride
in a large plastic container
and the glowing safety sticker on it said,
‘not a toy. this is not meant for play.
do not put your child in this.’
well, i didn’t have my glasses on,
how was i expected to read that?

Family fun, Peaches style! If the grands fit, you will get them in it. That is fine cross-generational hi-jinx, Beth.
Beautiful pictures of both generations, too, may I add?
I have to laugh about the plastic container sticker. Talk about being bawled out by The Machine!
And I rarely see Ward quoted. He ranks behind The Beav, Wally, June, and, of course, Eddie Haskell. But that’s a wise line for the ages, Beth.
