Oh Clif!!!! That is wonderful!!!! Pappy Clif!!!! LOLOLOL What do you want him to call you when he is able? Are they near where you can visit? Enjoy it!! GRAMPS.........................:jester:

 

Congrats, gramps! :lol:

 

Just to clarify, this is my first "official" grand child. My son married a woman with three boys, so I already have three grandsons "by proxy"

I know, I'm not suppose to favour any over the others (and I really won't), but still there's a little something extra in seeing your DNA propagated.

And, for the record, the other three call me Papa (although the oldest two do slip occasionally and call me Clif)

 

This is wonderful news Clif. Congrats.

 

Im so happy for you Papa Clif and family ...

 

congrats grandpa!

 

Congratulations Clif!

 

Congratulations, Grandpa!!

 

congrats old fart

 

Congratulations Clif!

:hurray:

 

congrats

 

Congratulations, Clif! Please share this story with your daughter-in-law.

A 3-year-old tells all from his mother's restroom stall.
By Shannon Popkin

My little guy, Cade, is quite a talker. He loves to communicate does it quite well. He talks to people constantly, whether we're in The library, the grocery store or at a drive-thru window. People often comment on how clearly he speaks for a just-turned-3-year-old. And You never have to ask him to turn up the volume. It's always fully cranked. There're been several embarrassing times that I've wished the meaning of his words would have been masked by a not-so-audible voice, but never have I wished this more than last week at Costco. Halfway, through our shopping trip, nature called, so I took Cade with me into the Restroom.

If you'd been one of the ladies in the restroom that evening, this is what you would have heard coming from the second to the last stall:

"Mommy, are you gonna go potty? Oh!

Why are you putting toiwet paper on the potty, Mommy?
Oh!

You gonna sit down on da toiwet paper now?

Mommy, what are you doing?

Mommy, are you gonna go stinkies on the potty?"

At this point I started mentally counting how many women had been in the bathroom when I walked in. Several stalls were full ....4? 5? Maybe we could wait until they all left before I had to make my debut out of this stall and reveal my identity.

Cade continued, "Mommy, you ARE going stinkies aren't you?
Oh, dats a good girl, Mommy! Are you gonna get some candy for going stinkies on the potty? Let me see doze stinkies, Mommy! Oh ... Mommy! I'm trying to see in dere. Oh! I see dem. Dat is a very good girl, Mommy. You are gonna get some candy!

I heard a few faint chuckles coming from the stalls on either side of me. Where is a screaming new born when you need her? Good grief. This was really getting embarrassing. I was definitely waiting a long time before exiting. Trying to divert him, I said, "Why don't you look in Mommy's purse and see if you can find some candy. We'll both have Some!" "No, I'm trying to see doze stinkies.

Oh! Mommy!" He started to gag at this point. "Uh oh, Mommy. I fink I'm gonna frow up. Mommy,doze stinkies are making me frow up!! Dat is so gross!!" As the gags became louder, so did the chuckles outside my stall. I quickly flushed the toilet in hopes of changing the subject.

I began to reason with myself: OK. There are four other toilets. If I count four flushes, I can be reasonably assured that those who overheard this embarrassing monologue will be long gone.

"Mommy! Would you get off the potty, now? I want you to be done going stinkies! Get up! Get up!" He grunted as he tried to pull me off.

Now I could hear full-blown laughter. I bent down to count the feet outside my door. "Oh, are you wooking under dere, Mommy? You wooking under DA door?

What were you wooking at, Mommy? You wooking at the wady's feet?" More laughter.

I stood inside the locked door and tried to assess the situation. "Mommy, it's time to wash our hands, now. We have to go out now, Mommy." He started pounding on the door. "Mommy, don't you want to wash your hands? I want to go out!!"

I saw that my wait 'em out" plan was unraveling. I sheepishly opened The door, and found standing outside my stall, twenty to thirty ladies crowded around the stall, all smiling and starting to applaud. My first thought was complete emabarassment, then I thought, "Where's the fine print on the motherhood contract' where I signed away every bit of my dignity and privacy?" But as my little boy gave me a big, cheeky grin while he rubbed bubbly soap between his chubby little hands, I thought, I'd sign it all away again, just to be known as Mommy to this little fellow.

:lol:

All of us moms know what it's like to lose bathroom privacy for a time, but this story takes the cake!

 

Congratulations!!!! :hurray:
