Grandchildren

Grandchildren bring life to Geezerville. So do children, great-grandchildren, and great-greats. One of my favorite couples comes regularly to have lunch with their blind auntie. There is a constant stream of family members through these halls. The extended nuclear family is alive and well for most of the residents. After a while, one learns who belongs with whom.

Of course, grandchildren bring excitement. Every apartment has emergency pull-cords in the bathroom and the bedroom. The first time kids explore an apartment, they try all of the switches and the pull-cords. In less than five minutes they get to meet the Manager of the Day.

And there is another side. When diapered infants are on the elevator, it is difficult to smell them apart from one of the residents.

My mind contains many good ideas, but it is not always easy to squeeze one out.
