As I was preparing the veggies, Kel was grilling the steaks. I went outside to see how it was going. Dyson had gone in the pool without permission, so I was forced to do the "Daddy thing".
As I was coming back in, I heard my father-in-law laugh. Both of my in-laws were sitting in the sun room with the TV tuned to Nick, playing Fairly Oddparents. Now, typically Keira will turn on the TV and select the channel. She’ll walk away and my in-laws won’t change the channel, just in case she comes back. Anyway, I did a double take, thinking that Papa had laughed at the cartoon. Nope. He was reading one of the Keira’s books - a preteen take on astrology.
He was very focused…
Of course, one of the (many) scams that eats up his time and money is the psychic telling him he’s gonna live until he’s 110, that he’s one of the few "special" ones, that he’ll get riches and fame but those around him will try to stop him because they’re jealous…
Sigh….
He’ll turn 90 in a couple of months. He’ll probably outlive me, but each year of his life takes off years from those around him.
