Grandkids: Grandson: Repeating

My grandson has already noticed I repeat my stories, such that when I start one he’s heard before, he says, “I already know that Abba.”

The same goes with grammar and vocabulary. We were talking about Sally Snake and Trip Triceratops (and all his other stuffed animals, all of which get obvious names) and I mentioned they involved alliteration, which I started to describe.

“You’ve told me that 52 times,” he said, with a specificity that I don’t think I deserve and may be an exaggeration.

I'd say to him, "Well, then, you should be glad I'm so consistent and that you can know what to expect with me!"
