touché, Opal

At least she can still get up to go to the bathroom

Well said, Opal. Well said.

Garbages isn’t a word. Had to force the spell-check to allow it lol

Just ONE cookie? She’s underpaying him!

Kids are no kids anymore.

I thought only guys have that problem!

Hey Nelson, ask for three cookies so maybe she’ll at least give you two!

Nelson she is your Gramma ….. just help her ;-)

That is a good lesson for Opal to teach Nelson. It certainly is a lot better than anything that he would learn from Earl.

Sorry Nelson, “you can’t always get what you want.” Mick Jagger might not have said it first, but he did say it best.

when you have to bribe kids to do something……something’s not right

money..to use on what, Nelson?

only 3 times? Sheesh, I wish…..

I still can’t stop chuckling over that one…

Thank goodness, some of us aren’t there yet.

Opal gave Nelson information he really didn’t need to know. Now a days, most kids want money for services rendered! Lol

The cookie strikes me as the better bargain.

“All of the garbages?” What is Opal’s native tongue?

You can’t always get what you want. You get what you need.

“Garbage” is a mass noun, a.k.a. an uncountable noun. A mass noun doesn’t have a plural.

I’m lucky if I get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep. After that it’s every hour til it’s time to get up.

I admit it is awkward.

“…but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.”

There are solutions to Gramma’s problem. But the cure is worse than the disease.
