T+66...Waking Up With Torie

(Setting: Darkened bedroom, early morning light starting to seep in. There are 2 double beds, each one with a Grandma pretending to be asleep. There is also a bunk bed. The lower bunk, bed rail securely in place, holds an adorable 3-year old.)

"Day."
"Turna light on."
"Mommy in Colorado. Daddy in Colorado. Papa Dick in Colorado. Papa Tom in Colorado. Torie in Minnesota. Mama Great in Minnesota. Mama Cheryl in Minnesota."

(Double beds are shaking as the Grandma's are silently giggling.)

"Teddy needa new diaper. Torie needa new diaper."
"Torie want milk. Torie want white milk. Torie want white milk inna cup."
"One, two, three, five, six, eight, eeyeben."

(Bed rail begins rattling, the Grandma's aren't being quite as silent with their giggles. Adorable 3-year old hears the stifled laughter and starts laughing.)

"Torie inna cage! Torie monkey inna cage!"

(More rattling, and the Grandma's both explode into laughter.)

"Hi Mama Great! Hi Mama Cheryl! You awake! Torie awake too!"

  2. Oh Torie, you are one funny little kid! I remember one morning when I was out there to see you all and I was out sitting on the rocker. I heard you doing your little morning routine and I could hardly keep from just totally laughing out loud. Keep working on those good cell Grand Baby. Very important!!

    I love you and miss you all so much.

    Papa Tom
