“You know, Grandma, I usually wash your car for money, right?”
“I know, sweetie, but we’re not washing the car today, okay?”
“You know, Grandma, we need to buy some new soccer shoes. Mine are too small, they squish my feet.”
“ I know, sweetie, but today we’re not going to get any money.”
“Grandma! Not even a dollar?”
“No, sweet pea, not even a dollar.”
“You said we were going to get some new soccer shoes, Grandma.”
“Yes, sweet pea…later…”
“Okay, I get it Grandma. Visiting the nursing home is not for profit. For comfortable soccer shoes, I need to wash someone’s car.”

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.
I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!
I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!
Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
