Day 882 - Crazy Grandma Ichikawa Storytime

What's the one thing that would drive Crazy Grandma crazier after a previous blog entry that described how much Crazy Grandma hates being called Crazy Grandma? It could only be another crazy edition of...Crazy Grandma Ichikawa Storytime!

Today is the first week of Crazy Grandma and Lazy Grandpa babysitting the kids again. Lisa and I prepped the kids by explaining to them that Crazy and Lazy were going to babysit while Mommy and Daddy went to work. I think the kids were okay with that because they responded in unison, "About time."

The great thing about Crazy and Lazy is that they both use their own specific talents to babysitting. Crazy Grandma is very good with the kids because she loves to play and shower attention upon them. As for Lazy Grandpa, he loves to show them the proper way to nap and sleep.

Today, Crazy Grandma was entertaining Emma by making funny sounds. After depleting all of the air in her lower intestine, Crazy Grandma continued to make funny sounds with her mouth. Each sound that Crazy Grandma made would elicit a hearty laugh from Emma.

"Phbbbbbt," said Crazy Grandma.

Emma laughed.

"Cluck cluck cluck!" clucked Crazy Grandma.

Emma laughed.

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr," sirened Crazy Grandma as she rolled her tongue on the top of her mouth.

Emma was silent.

"Rrrrrrrrrr!" repeated Crazy Grandma.

Continued silence.

"RRRRRRRRRRR!" roared Crazy Grandma at one last chance to make Emma chuckle.

This time Emma stood up, walked up to Crazy Grandma, and held up her hand front of Crazy's face.

And then Emma said with complete seriousness, "Stop, Gaga! You scare me..."
