FINALLY, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

It took 32 years of hard work and bribery, but it looks like it has all paid off. Grandma Lucy has finally decided to upgrade me to a full fledged, honest to goodness Grandson this birthday season. I mean, it took about 20 years just to go from "Danny's Kid" to "Friend". Oh, the joy! No more bullshit kiddie table seating outside on the porch in winter! No sir, full servings from a fresh dish of lasagna from here on out - not the mutilated, mushy leavings which remain after the higher ranking family members have had their way with it. Hooray!
