Table Talk

An interesting part of the day at the McElvain house is when we sit down to dinner. You never know what crisis may occur, what spills may happen, or what conversations might develop. I really enjoyed tonight's table talk and thought I might share....

We started out talking about how warm the pool is lately....that led into my story about my dad and how, out of beer cans, he made a solar heater that was mounted on the garage roof to heat the pool we used when I was a kid....that flowed into a whole bunch of tweets from the kids about "how their grandpa is one of the smartest people they know."

The group's consensus.... Grandpa is very intelligent.

"Didn't he teach somewhere?" Kelly asked
"He does now" Connor answered. "He goes and teaches the homeless people how to read every week".

So now we have come to a group analysis ....Grandpa is very intelligent and caring.

The conversation went on for a while with examples of what Grandpa does to support our opinion of him. Any where from rebuilding jet engines, to helping neighbors.

All of a sudden Delaney decided to put in her two cents. "You know why Grandpa is really smart?(Pause as we all wait for the answer)....Because he is OLD!"

The conclusion....Grandpa is very intelligent, caring, and old.....and makes for a great conversation piece at dinner.
