Romance : under 100 words
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
“Grandpa! Grandpa! ”
“Yes Kiddo! ”
“Are you going to work? ”
“No Kiddo! I am retired now! ”
“Then why are you shaving? ”
He laughs.
“Dad only shaves when he is going to office. ”
Grandpa finishes shaving and picks me up. I touch his face. He has a few nicks. Must be his shaking hands.
“You don’t have to shave now Grandpa! You don’t go to work so no one will mind! ”
“Your Grandma will, little one. ”
He smiles.
