Josh called me last night, as he often does, while driving home from his class. Our conversation continued, as he reached his home, and swept upstairs hoping that Ali was still awake so he could tell her “good night”. I could hear faint mumblings which eventually ended with “Would you like to talk to popaw?”
“Yeah,” came the soft sleepy reply.
“Hi popaw.”
“Hi Ali. Are you getting ready to sleep?”
“Yeah.”
“Did you have a good day at school?”
“Yeah.”
“Did you learn something new today?”
“Yes,” she perked up a little. “We learned about animals.”
“What did you learn about animals?”
“Well, it was very dark and Jesus didn’t like it because it was so dark so he made a lot of animals! – and he made flowers and grass and trees and water! – and he made people too!”
“I think he did a pretty good job when he made you and your little sister.”
“Yeah, and he made jammies too!”
That was my cue to say good night.
“I’m glad you had such a good day at school. Now, I think it’s time for me to say good night so you can get to sleep and get lots of rest for school tomorrow.”
“Yeah. Good night popaw – I love you popaw.”
Grandbabies. He made them too.
