I wake. Grab
my phone and start clicking. Click, click, click. I see a number of posts that
say: What people most want post corona is to hug their grandchildren.
I then
shuffle towards the kitchen to tell a machine to make me coffee.
I put a scoop
of coffee in here, place a cup here, press this button, listen to gurgling
hissing sounds, and watch a stream of dark drips. I know have the smell of freshly
brewed coffee. I carefully balance the cup and return to my bedroom.
In my bed has
appeared a row of grandchildren siting supported by pillows.
I stand and
look.
I then try
and balance my cup and shuffle back into bed.
Immediately one grandkid says: Don’t do that. You are pushing me.
Another
grandkid says: No room for you.
I then say:
So there is no room in my bed for me.
They all think
this is funny. They all sing in unison: No
room for you. No room for you.
I then
stand looking at my phone. I must be able to find a post somewhere that says
that grandparents are allowed to sit in their own bed.
