I had lunch out with my son, his lovely wife and my 9-month-old grandson. As I carried the baby through the restaurant toward the exit, I noticed people smiling at him. I found myself exclaiming to random strangers, "This is my grandson!"
Most of them smiled or laughed. One woman said, "How wonderful you are so proud of him." Some wanted to talk to us. But there were a few who looked away like they did not want to encourage this crazy woman.
In my own defense, allow me to say this behavior was highly irregular for me. I normally go about my business observing the "don't talk to strangers" rule. But this child of my child has changed my life in a number of ways. All for the better.
