Being Boo Boo


One of the advantages of being Zoey’s grandfather is chauffeuring her to have her wisdom teeth taken out.

One of the disadvantages of being an old mill worker is that I couldn’t understand anything she was saying while her mouth was packed with gauze.

But she mumbled and giggled all the way home.

However, I did get her attention when I dropped her off and I said I’d be back tomorrow to take her back so she could have the rest of her teeth taken out.

For a brief moment there was panic in her eyes. I think I understood her to say, “No, Boo Boo. No.”

(She did manage to take this picture of herself.)
