Day 677 - Crazy Grandma Ichikawa Storytime


Which crazed lunatic can get out of any straitjacket if one of her grandchildren is in danger of the cooties? That's right! It's Crazy Grandma Ichikawa Storytime!

Crazy Grandma has been up in Sacramento for about two months now so there are only a few ways for her to be in contact with the kids. During the weekends, we video chat with them over the computer. She also checks on the blog to see what activities the kids are up to. And most disturbingly, she has created life-sized statues of Emma and Andrew out of soap, clorox, and bacterial wipes.

Earlier this week, I was talking to Crazy Grandma on the phone about the recent blog entries. What was interesting about the conversation was how she would twist each description of the assorted blog entries into a criticism or complaint. Let me explain what I mean through Crazy Grandma's words...

1) VIDEO ENTRY OF EMMA COUNTING


"Oooooh! Dat vee-dee-oh waz sooooo cute of Emma counting. She smaht girl! Must tayke aftah ME! HAHAHA! Butt yuuuu knooooow...where waz Andrew? I no see Andrew in vee-dee-oh. I taught he waz goingu to count aftah Emma, but nooo Andrew! You bettah put someting up of Andrew. Everyting even! Put vee-dee-oh of Andrew up! Don't fahget!"

2) PICTURE OF EMMA AND A DOG

3) PICTURE OF ANDREW ON A ZEBRA TOY
