Okay, so this BLOG is not about Runnemede, unless something strikes me as I'm writing this.
We had a present for one of my grandchildren -- a 6-year-old boy -- at least we thought we did. He is a very good reader (4th grade level at this point) and we bought him a book entitled: The Dangerous Book for Boys. It has a lot of science things in it, and things about bugs, and caves, and military maneuvers, etc. I browsed through it and thought it was appropriate. Alan read it and thought it was too mature because there were things in this book for boys that he had a hard time ingesting. So, now, it's December 21 (almost) and I have to go out to get another gift for my grandson. Arrgh!
I'm not looking forward to the crowded conditions I know I'll find tomorrow. Maybe Kroger's will have something appropriate. I certainly hope so. If not...
I wonder if my mom and dad ever had this problem. This close to Christmas and oops! a gift that is not appropriate had to be replaced with something else requiring one of them to run to Jake's 5 and 10, or into Philly, to get something else. I certainly hope not.
