“Please, huh, can I Grandpa? You said next time I’d be big ‘nough. Grandma said I’d grown a foot since I been here last. See, I come near up to the top of the fence post,” I pleaded for the umpteenth time.

“Well, just let me see about that. Here now. Hold still. Stop that fidgeting so I can see just how much you’d sprouted”, Grandpa fussed as he tried to figure if I was big enough to join him. “Well, I guess you have gone and growed up after all. All right, go on and git your pole.”

“Yippee! Yah hear that, Grandma? Grandpa’s says I git to go!” I couldn’t contain myself. This will be the first time I will get to hang out with Grandpa down at the fishin’ hole. I’ve been coming every summer to visit Grandma and Grandpa since they moved back to the home place after retiring. I sure do miss them something fierce when I’m home two States away. But, boy, oh boy, this year’s gonna be different!

“Come on Andra! You gonna take all day?” My Grandpa never could say my name right, Andrea. Or maybe he just liked it that a’way. Either way, I wouldn’t change it none and you better believe I ain’t gonna be the one to set him straight.

“Bye Grandma!” I shouted as I leaped from the porch, running as hard as my six-year-old legs would carry me. “I’m a comin’, Grandpa! Wait for me!”
