I have mentioned previously my joy helping our grandchildren like funding 529 plans.
Now our oldest grandchild is in college. A few days ago I texted him to let me know if he needed anything.
Today I received this text. “I was wondering if you can get me a cheese burger with just lettuce, cheese and pickles, fries and a lemonade from the pizza house near my dorm and you can order online. I’ll pick it up.”
So I placed the order.
I just hope there is not a car dealer near the dorm. I was expecting to help editing a term paper. 😎
I am writing this sitting in India. I am older than Dick and yet I do not have grandchildren old enough to college. My oldest grandchild is a girl and she is 8 years old. Best of luck to Dick and others.
Welcome to the 21st century
No dessert? Seems incomplete without a chocolate chip brownie.
Good point. I got off easy – until the next time. That pizza place is across the street from his dorm.
It’s the little things…
Dick, great anecdote. Building connections with a grandchild is one of the great joys of life. This is a lesson he will likely internalize, and repeat decades from now with his grandchild. Well done.
That is a great story. I see good things in his future. All the best to your grandchild.
Smart kid. Turned a “No not really” into a bonding moment/family anecdote. And got a free lunch in the process.
