Bibi the Great Organiser - as told by Grandpa Brian
Dylan was sleeping over at his grandparent’s home over the long weekend.
(25 / 26 April 2010)
Needless to say he gets away with a LOT more than at home.
The more he gets away with, the more he pushes the envelope.
Grandpa and Dylan are in the room playing with Lego, Granny is busy washing dishes.
Bibi looks at Grandpa with an impish grin on his face.
“While you and I have fun, Granny can do all the bad stuff he Gwandpa”?
Grandpa is tempted to approve of this brilliant suggestion, but he is a bit more experienced such matters.
Next Bibi finds an old one-note toy flute, that all who remember it, wish it was permanently lost.
Off he skips to the kitchen blowing on it as hard as he can.
“Granny!” he says “Ewery time Gwandpa and I need something, I will whistle for you to come; OK?”
“No chance of that in a million years; I’m on strike!”. Retorts Grandma, of course she thinks she knows where that rhetoric originated.
Grandpa is used to strikes by the Bus Drivers and the Taxi Drivers and the Municipal Workers and and and.
But now granny is threatening to toi toi.
“Maybe your Mom will dance to your tunes. You must remember to take the flute home with you.” Suggests Grandpa, still thinking of how
Bibi has this innate knack of organizing people around him to cooperate with him.
