When our first grandchild was born, I claimed to job of being the designated ‘BAD Example.’ It is a job title that I take seriously, and have resisted ALL take-over attempts(started because they felt I was having too much fun). I am the mean grandpa, but also, I am the FAVORITE relative. And many of you know how hard it is to beat out grandmothers for that title.
The titles of “Grandpa” and “Grandma” can also be granted by a kid to an unrelated older person. Someone who is the appropriate age, and fulfills a grandparent type role in some way in the child’s life.
Here it is now 5/31/21. You people have seen what has happened to this country already and what is in the works right now. Are you still as stupid and ignorant as you were when you voted for Biden the Puppet and his trained hyena? Sadly, probably so. Oh yeah, keep watching the mainstream news and enjoying the new “Pravda” version of social media, they go good with popcorn, Junior Mints and frontal lobotomies.

Ultimately, all rulers are servants. Things have to be mainntained or they rule over rubble.
(Normal leaders understand this.)

You should have stopped at “It’s a big responsibility”, Earl!

I wouldn’t know. I never get to make a decision about anything.

Look at it this way, Earl: Garbage/trash removal personnel are some of the MOST underrated, but absolutely essential, workers in the country.

But.. it’s still fun.. the only downside is you don’t get to keep the tittle that long.

At least he is the Earl of the family.

I once heard marriage described as the event where the bride says “I do.” Then the groom says “I do,” and that’s the last he has to say in the matter.

Just one of the many responsibilities incumbent upon the lord of the manor.

Earl May be the “head” but Opal is the neck and she turns the head wherever she likes!
