The (not so best) "tucker-inner"

Grandma and Grandpa Ludlum are visiting this weekend. Last night Steve was tucking the boys in at bedtime and told them that they should ask Grandpa to tuck them in because he is the "best tucker-inner." I should note here that usually the person who can wrap the boys up the tightest - so they can't move their little bodies around - is the best "tucker-inner." What happened next is a perfect example of how different my two boys are:

Michael & Jack: "Grandpa, can you tuck us in? Why are you the best tucker-inner?"
Grandpa: "Because I used to tuck your Dad in and I am really good at tucking little boys in."
Grandpa tucks them both in gently
Jack: "What's so good about that?!" (obviously upset about Grandpa's inferior tucking-in skills)
Michael: "That was really good, Grandpa! Thank you!"

  1. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Michael seems more like a 'like-it-loose' kinda guy anyhow. :)

  2. I love how Jack tells it like it is. And poor Michael can't say anything that might hurt someone's feelings.
