This evening My Beloved and I were on a Skype call with our daughter-in-law and our twin nineteen month old grandsons Zachary and Alexander. Kristi was showing pictures of animals to them and asking what the animals say. We were delighted to hear them roar when a tiger was shown, cockadoodledoo when they saw a rooster, etc.
In the middle of the show, I coughed. I have a chronic cough primarily due to allergies and residual talcum powder that was used internally during lung surgeries many years ago. The boys picked up on my cough and immediately started fake-coughing. We all laughed and Kristi asked, “What does Grandpa say?” Without missing a beat, they fake-coughed again.
With Love,
Russ

I love it!
I appreciate your comment, Joan. Thank you.
So sweet, I can’t believe they are 19 month old….I remember them being born!
Time sure flies when you’re having fun!
That’s so cute Russ! That song, What does the fox say, just popped into my mind. Have you heard that nutty number? ❤

I think I did hear it once. I remember it was a big meme awhile back. Thank you for your comment, Diana.

Isn’t Skype great for being able to see and be seen in between visits with them… Diane
Yes, Skype is wonderful. That way when they come out for a visit again in April they’ll more likely recognize and remember us.

I agree, Joanne. Grandparenting is wonderful and Skype is great, especially when families are thousands of miles apart.

Kids say the darndest things! 😀
So true, even when their vocabulary is little more than mommy, daddy, and the noise animals make!
