My grandchildren.

An update on the Blur (formerly known as the Wretched Wretch) and his younger sister Sardine.

My five-year-old grandson (I have to say that so you know - as the Blur patiently explains to people - 'I am not a girl. I am a boy with long hair') :



His sister, nearly two:





Unusual people. I like them.

Oh - we are always talking about the threads and connections we see - the glimpses of various family members on both their mother's and their father's side. Marvelling at how people who look rather different can blend so effectively in the next generation. x

And he has wonderful hair, too! Very cute kiddos there.

I have wondered for a while, why was he known as the Wretched Wretch?

Pen Wilcock said...

:0) A quotation from Tove Jansson (Moomin books). Amusing. Somewhat akin to our cats, the Disgraceful Pussybeasts. You have to have the same sense of humour. And my grandson . . . he is one of the nicest people I know, but childhood is not (I hope) the easiest season of his life.

Pen, they're delightful. I've five grandchildren of my own, and looking at yours I Suddenly Understood how the custom of match-making got started.

Ah - yes - I think you would like them! We are a bit of a secluded tribe because our strange neurological/psychological make-up means one has to be patient and understanding to get on with us - and of course, most people aren't. The grandchildren have inherited the full wacky whack of weirdness and are quite a force to be reckoned with; but they are funny and original and immensely endearing.
