Like Grandfather, Like Grandson




So Johnny and I have been joking-kinda seriously-about how much Turner is JUST like Grandad Steve-my dad. He is so outgoing, cares about EVERYONE, and talks to total strangers ALOT! So since we've started walking around the lake here in Kingston, Turner wants to stop everyone we pass and talk to them about anything-the turtles we just fed, the crane we saw, what's their dog's name,do they want to come watch him play football, etc. So I started talking to him about how it's ok, to say "hi" but not talk to EVERY stranger he sees. Here's how the conversations went.....

Whitney: "Turner, you know you don't have to stop every person and talk to them? Some people are trying to exercise"
Turner: loudly " But mom, HE wasn't a stranger!"
Whitney: "oh really? where did you meet him?" sarcastically
Turner: "I saw him at WalMart- are you calling me a liar?"
Whitney: couldn't even say anything, I just died laughing!!!

Thanks Grandad Steve! We love you!
