What does Grandpa (Pappy) do now?

Posted by JD Farmer on December 31, 2015 at 05:24:45 from (104.169.64.106):

I am getting dangerous in my older age I guess. Sometimes I feel nothing is safe if I am around.

Yesterday I backed my Gator over one of my Grandsons Tonka trucks and demolished it.

Not the first time this has happened...one dead old hard hearing cat....and a smashed pedal tractor pull behind trailer that I had just restored and painted for him.

These toys where the same ones my son played with when he was a kid.

Bad thing about it is, not 2 minutes before, I had told him to put his Tonka's away so I wouldn't run over them tomorrow with my gooseneck trailer. Little did I know that he had just moved them off the driveway to the barn and they were hidden in my blind spot around the corner of the grainery. I had just finished filling the gator with diesel and he and my other grandson where headed out to feed calves. Neither of them alerted me to the fact they had just put the toys in my path.

So he was pretty upset when he realized what happened to his truck as we backed around the grainery.

So this morning I have him a like new Tonka truck coming on the way from that E-*** website....just exactly like the one I smashed less all the rust, lol.

How do I give him this without taking away from a lesson learned...(put your stuff away).

He is 4 yrs. old.
