She's got a secret poll going on right now (behind curtain #3) to decide what her next poll will be about.

Didn't you get an invitation?

She didn't get your RSVP so she just went on ahead without you.

You can find her behind door #2 with her stick. She's poking out all those hanging chads.

Either Grandma has been abducted by The SHUMS or she is ignoring me. Maybe she's just chasing down Marc with her stick and so is tied up (but not literally, let's hope).

My experience is that grandparents like to take their own time, and get cantankerous if you rush them. So let's be patient...

Maybe she's stuck in her desert submarine with those 25 kinders.

Give her time to surface and check in.

OR . . .


Maybe she's ignoring you.

I suspect tying up DGma would be like trying to tame a cantankerous-and-protective lioness-mother into submission with a soggy hanky. You can try, but you're gonna get bloody.

[WHACK!] Ow! She didn't even say "Duck". [WHACK!] OW!

RUN AWAY!

Cheers,
Marc

I'm not flinching - I'm bracing my extreme pleasure centres for impact.

[WHACK!] Oh, yeah, baby! Do it like Uncle Methuselah used to do it me back in the 80's....
