So it appears my grandson has a problem
A phone chat between my daughter and I this evening....
her: mom, we took the baby gates down four nights ago but have to put them back up for a bit longer.
me: why is this?
her: it appears julian has an addiction and he acts on it at around 4am every morning... unless the gates are up.
me: ummmm okay, so what is his addiction?
her: he goes downstairs and gets into the snack (raisins, crackers, chocolate, and milk) and veggies out on the couch with his movies.
me: ahahahahaaaaaaaaaa

her: no mom it's not funny!!
me: I was worried it was something worse. do you have proof?

her: yes!! he's passed out on the couch with all the packaging, chocolate on his face, crumbs all over the place and the remote in his hand.
me: lmaoooooo

sorry but I'll need proof to believe this story.

her: *sigh*
