a child's view on grandparents

While I was driving Papaya home from swimming today, she started to make a comment about how her Opa like lots of butter, actually too much, on his toast. We then talked about how he also likes lots of peanut butter with his butter. Papaya commented that she thought that was okay when she was younger, but now that she is older, it's pretty gross. (Just a reminder she isn't quite 8!)

However, all that said, she reminded me that Opa's are good for some things, like rice with brown sugar and cinnamon, as well as cartoons! She has always thought that his lap is pretty comfortable for curling up on. Especially to watch those cartoons.

I asked her, "What about Oma's?"
"Well she is good for peppermints," came her quick reply.

My niece is coming in only 19 days! Last year I took her and these sneakers all over the place on little adventures and I am looking forward to more!

Also I have a little aside. Tonight I realized that when I make supper I need to clean the kitchen up first! Is that wierd? Does anyone else find it hard to cook in a messy kitchen?
