storytime with grandma alice

grandma alice and grandpa case live down the street from us. lately, david and claire and their faithful sidekick angela have been going over there to sit on the front porch and hear grandma alice tell stories.

alice is a fantastic storyteller but she also gives the kids lots of candy when they visit her. my hunch is that their motivation in going (every day for the past week!) is for a bit of both.

the other day i stopped by to make sure that it was ok with alice and case that the kids keep coming over. it seems that the kids have been giving alice and case as much entertainment as what they try to provide for them. alice told me about a conversation the kids had with her last sunday:

alice: ok kids, grandpa case and i have to get ready for evening church.
david: you go to church two times on sunday?
alice: yes
david: why do you go to church twice?
alice: because grandpa and i need to get wiser
a few minutes later...
david: can i go to church with you sometime? i want to get wiser too
