grandpa & edna!...

well, you've got to be around our family for this to even resemble a funny story, but anyway, for those of you who 'know us', here goes:... my father (the older kids call him grandpa) has a crazy sense of humor anyway & he loves (& I DO MEAN LOVES!), to play around & make digs with our daughter brit... she's got comebacks for him left & right so they both just go round & round all the time... well, he's one that even if he knows your name, he constantly slips up & calls you something else on accident (he still does this to me & i'm 39 & his own daughter!!!)... he slipped up one time & called brit, brenda & we've laughed about that for a long time as brit's always saying, "gosh grandpa, don't even know your own grand-daughter's name!"... well, brit's really big into thinking up new names, looking in baby name books for cool ways to spell names, etc. & one day recently she ran across the name edna... oh brother, that's all we've heard ever sense's that she'd LOVED to be named edna & she says it with such 'snip' with a break of sorts between ED & NA saying it with a bit of sass... well, if any of you are familiar with the cracker barrel 'peg game', you'll know what i mean when i say, brit's been able to get down to only 2 pegs left... well, grandpa called her this evening & asked how 'low can she go' on that game & she said, "2 pegs"... well, he started laughing (devilish laughing) & said he'd gone there tonight & got down to only 1 peg, so now the war's on... he was bragging a bit & said, "oh edna, wanna go to cracker barrel soon?!?!?!"... she then said, "bring it on!!!"... oh brother, those two!!... i'm going to buy them both one of those peg games, sit them at a table & take a picture to add to this blog as they're both so competetive & will NOT let the other one off the hook for anything... they're 2 of a kind no matter how you cut it... just thought i'd share the kind of family members we've in our family... so, how did i turn out so normal?... hmmmm *smile*
