Overheard

Alpha to Grandson #1 (a 6-yr-old): You know what tomorrow is, don't you?

GS-1: Yeah. It's Christmas Eve.

A: Right. And you know what Christmas Eve is, don't you?

GS-1: What, Grandpa?

A: It's the day where the whole family gets together to look at the presents under the tree. And eat. And eat some more. And then eat. You don't get to open any presents no matter how often you ask. That has to wait until Christmas morning. All you can do Christmas Eve is eat.

Alpha's a trouble-maker.
