Jeanie saw her grandson’s feet on the ladder outside, and decided she’d had enough. She had to say something. She rang up, Patricia, Brian’s mom.
“Hi mom! Is Brian enjoying his summer with you?”
“He’s cleaning windows,” said Jeanie. “But I think we should stop giving him his growth vitamins.”
“Well, he always was small for his age.”
“Yes, but now he’s having a growth spurt.” Jeanie walked upstairs to the second-floor bedroom.
“Well, that’s great!”
“I suppose. I was just looking at his feet out the first-floor kitchen window.”
“Okay.”
“And I can see his face in the second-floor window upstairs.”

Nice growth spurt, reminded me of Roald Dahl’s ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ – a favourite from childhood!

Dear Eric,
Perhaps I should try those growth hormones. Nah. I think it might be too late. 😉 You made me laugh but no spew. Well done. 😀
Shalom,

Funny! I think those vitamins have a little more “ginger” in them than realized. I’d love to see him order from the drive-through at McDonald’s!

Hehe. Yeah, he’d have to drive a pickup and sit in the truck bed. 😉

Born to be a window cleaner, he’s got it made. I like to think that Gran has got it wrong; by the time she got up stairs he had climbed the ladder – great humour.

Did Patricia have a heart attack after hearing about the growth spurt?

Luckily no, but she fainted on the spot. I understand she’s looking for a new house…with high ceilings.
