Today's Grandma nugget:
I was doing a happy dance for the grandkids' entertainment. My grandson eyed my dance with curious attention which I acknowledged.
"Grandma isn't a very good dancer, is she, Brady?"
"Let me see it again," he suggested.
I took the movements down a notch, hoping to look less awkward. Still, he eyed me curiously with a dubious frown.
...
"I guess Grandma really can't dance very well after all," I confessed.
"No, Grandma. You're a good dancer."
A moment of deep reflection ensued, during which Brady replayed his family's most recent Family Home Evening lesson on the importance of honesty and repentance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItEsXGhcOEs
Afterwards, he gave me the best fake smile he could muster adding, "Sorry, Grandma. That was a lie."
So truth won out, and the vote came in. Grandma can still boogie, but she isn't very good.
