So This Is How Grandma Gets ‘Volunteered’

Fall leaves. Carmel, IN – 2012 jsm

A couple weeks ago: My daughter (RT) had a conversation with granddaughter (Z).  They had the exchange {below}… Trying to explain to her that I was taking her to a Festival in Rockville, IN

First :

• Z – “I want to go see Grandma.”
• RT – “This weekend.”
• Z – Where are we going?”
• RT – “The Covered Bridge Festival.”
• Z – “Where?”
• RT – “Rockville, I think.”
• Z – “Rockwell? I want to see Rockwell.”
• RT – “Z. No. RockVILLE. RockWELL is where the Aliens are.”
• Z – “I want to go see Aliens with Grandma!”
• RT – “When you’re old enough.”
• Z – “When will I be old enough?”
• RT – “I don’t know, like 14.”
• Z – “So when I’m 14 Grandma will take me to see the Aliens?”
• RT – “Sure.”
• Then RT – to me: “Guess you just got signed up to go to Rockwell in 10 years HAHAHA!

My REPLY:  [Laughing!  I have tears rolling down my face at this point] “IT’S ROSWELL!” [and I’ll be 60!]
