Tuesdays With MeMe

After a two hour swim

the kids came in to watch cartoons

I had gotten out the ingredients to make

some cookie brownies

Emma, Abby and John Brady were interested

I asked them if they would like to

make the brownies

all by themselves

They jumped at that suggestion

As I was showing them the package and ingredients

I told them we did not have an egg

I made the statement

Well, we could ask our neighbor

Teresa

if we could borrow an egg

or

since Pops had gotten home

he could go to the store and buy some eggs

I told the kids we would just send Pops to the store

Now, Emma, Abby and John Brady

had not met our new neighbors, they have met Zach

their son

and

are very interested in their dog

Isaac

but

they had not met Teresa

so Abby comes over to me and whispers

that she would like to go over and borrow

the egg from Teresa

so

I said OK

Well, then Emma and John Brady wanted to go

So

all three went next door to borrow an egg

They were so excited

I think they wanted to meet Teresa

and

I think they were intrigued at the thought

of borrowing an egg from the neighbor

Well

they got their egg and all came in smiling

Emma told me that Teresa said not to worry

about returning it

after a few minutes

Abby came and whispered in my ear

MeMe, can I take a egg back to Ms. Teresa

So, later that day after Pops ran to the store

Abby returned Teresa's egg

Abby came back through our door

with a big smile on her face

and said

Ms. Teresa called me sweetie and said we could borrow an egg anytime

My Grand kids are learning why I love the country!
