PawPaw lives on a boat

I forgot to tell you about the other funny incident today:
We were at the grocery store checking out and it wasn't busy so there was one lady checking, and two ladies bagging. Demetrius starts talking to them and says something to the effect that 'PawPaw lives on a boat now. He doesn't stay with grandma anymore.' The one lady looks up from the checking and gives me this, Oh, I'm so sorry look. And it finally dawns on me that they are all thinking my husband has left me and with this little grandson to raise -- oh, poor lady. I said, 'Oh no, he works in New Orleans and someone offered him their boat to live on so he wouldn't have to commute everyday.' They all said, 'Yeah', like they really didn't mean it. I said, 'No,really, we been married close to 40 years and neither one of us wants to train a new one.' But I don't think any of them believed me. They each offered Demetrius something = he got two rings, a lollipop and some gum. Keep up the good work kid!
