Bubba on why Grandma walks so slow
On Saturday, Seb and I went over to my parent’s house because it was Octoberfest (in the middle of September?) in the little town where I grew up and there were to be fireworks that evening. It was…interesting. My dad ended up walking back home with my nephew Lucas because he was tired and crabby and not behaving well, but left the stroller so that my mom could push it home. She likes having something to hold herself up.
So, on the way home, she was lagging behind with my other nephew and Seb, my brother Joe, my niece and I were walking and Seb and I had the following conversation:
Seb: I thought the reason Grandma walks so slow is because she is pushing Lucas in the stroller and he makes it heavy.
Me: No, Grandma just walks slow because she is a slow walker.
Seb: Huh, I thought it was because she has kankles.
My brother and I both just stopped, looked at each other and started cracking up. Where in the world my son heard about kankles, I don’t know. And to be fair, my mom doesn’t even have kankles. The first thing my brother did when we got home was relate the newest "Bubba Story" to my sister. We were kind, though, and didn’t tell my mom that her grandson thinks she has kankles.
