Noticing Things

I didn't think Dad was even noticing that his great-grandson was in the house. However, my daughter told me that she was sitting alone at the table with Dad when he pointed to the highchair and asked, "Where's that baby that always sits here?" At that point, the "baby" (now nearly 2 years old) had only been in the house for 3 days--not even close to always.

My daughter explained where the baby was and who the baby was, reminding him who she was. Dad's comment was that he didn't even know she was married. My daughter reminded him that he had been to the wedding. He responded, "Well, then, I guess you are married and it's OK for you to have a baby."
