Hobson's Choice

strange grandparent brains
Have my parents-in-law become victims to some strange kind of grandparently psychosis? They have just pulled out of our driveway to take Eleanor and Timmy to Toys R Us. The last time Eleanor went to the store was a year ago, before she knew the tug of desire for "new toys" as she calls them, before she understood the existence of stores, when frankly her knowledge of the outside world remained dim. The last time she went to Toys R Us, she was in the sling, for goodness sake.
Now, her grandparents have condemned themselves to wandering the world's biggest toy store with (a) an impulsive toddler, crying "had it, had it" (meaning "I want you to get me that.") and (b) a seven year old who's been living in a fairly non-materialistic setting for a month and a half.
Grandparent mind, whoooo!
