Show-and-Tell Expert
An elder, whether he or she is a biological grandparent or not, can be an
excellent show-and-tell for a youngster. If you haven't tried it, give it
thought, the experience is one of the best antidotes for the 'blahs.' The
experiences range from the hilarious to the poignant, and deserve being
shared.
During a visit to my distant grandchildren they invited me to accompany
them to school to tell a few stories. On the appointed day, waiting in line
with my granddaughter to enter her classroom, she glanced around to see
if I was still there. Seeing me, she waggled her thumb at me over her
shoulder and loudly proclaimed for all to hear, 'That's my Grandpa. He's
my show-and-tell today!'
Acknowledging students' stares and giggles with dignified bows to left
and right, I trailed along into the classroom, was graciously received, told
stories, responded to questions about how the stories came to be, and
asked questions in return. I then repeated my performance in my
grandson's class. Both sessions went well.
