A Real Yahoo Moment

Tweet

We had a tender moment here this evening that I wanted to share. It was so nice to see. My granddaughter and her son have been staying here with us for the last week or so. It is different having a baby here and the noise and such is not what we are used to. My grandson, who is 14, is pretty used to having his world uninterrupted and he has a pretty overbearing personality. He and my granddaughter had words earlier because the baby got something of my grandson's and was playing with it. My grandson felt that baby's mom should have taken care of it and granddaughter wanted to see how he would handle it so she didn't do anything right away. Words flew. It continued upstairs when my grandson just walked into her bedroom without knocking. He felt justified and didn't apologize. Words flew again. My daughter and I just let them figure it out. No reason to interfere. My granddaughter and I were busy talking in my room and I told her that it has been my experience that after I have a upset like this with him he will 2 times out of three come up a while later and apologize. I felt good that my granddaughter did not get mad and start something nasty. She calmly and nicely told him that wasn't the way to handle it. He just spit something under his breath and just walked off. She used to be very much like him. So about a half an hour later my grandson came back upstairs and had granddaughter's sunglasses in his hand. He had gone out of his way to find a part and fix her glasses. What a nice gesture! My granddaughter stood up and hugged him. It was very touching
