Moe and his Grandma

"If nothing is well, call your grandmother."
Italian Proverb

As a little boy Moe took that Proverb to heart. Every time he thought we were treating him unfairly he would call up my mom and tell her what we were doing wrong. He memorized my mother's number and called her for every "offense" that we committed. (In Moe's mind our crime was making him eat his vegetables, getting grounded or making him do something horrible like.... taking his vitamins)

It was funny to see this little kid take the phone into his bedroom, call up his grandma and complain about his parents. Yet, every time he finished talking to my mother- he always felt better.

Nowadays, Moe doesn't call my mother as often as he did when he was little. They don't go on train rides anymore, take trips to the zoo or the dinosaur museum; and since we moved a few hours away, they see each other less. However, distance cannot break a bond that can only exist between a grandparent and grandchild - their bond is unbreakable.

At 17 years old, Moe's eyes still light up when he sees his Grandma and she still brings him treats.
