Granny quotes from Franklin

It's a little spooky up there. It'll be nice having a brave little helper.

Franklin

But, Mom, I can't go to Granny's tomorrow, I promised my friends!

And I promised Granny!

You can play with your friends anytime, Franklin. Granny loves it when you visit.

Franklin

I don't want to sit and talk, I want to have fun with my friends!

Granny likes to do fun things. Why don't you ask her?

Franklin

Does she like throwing water balloons? I don't think so, Dad!

She might. You never know.

Are you sure you haven't gotten taller? You look taller to me!

Mom, I haven't gotten taller! Maybe you've gotten shorter!

Oh, fiddlesticks! Here, now, get out of that!

Mmmm!

Franklin, does your father carry on like this at home?

Franklin

Sometimes.

Would you like to lick the spoon? You've had some already. This is for Franklin.

Franklin

Dad can have it.

Then would you like to help me frost these cupcakes?

Franklin

Nah, you can do it, Granny.

Are you not feeling well?

Franklin

No, I'm just bored.

Franklin.

It's okay, son. We'll be fine. Here, now, why don't you run along? Franklin and I have all sorts of things to talk about. There. Now, off with you.

Bye, Mom. Bye, Franklin.

Franklin

Bye.

I'd like to do what you'd like to do.

Franklin

What I'd like to do has already happened without me.

You'd like to play with your friends, wouldn't you? Instead of here.

Franklin

You should always wear a bike helmet.

They didn't have such a thing in those days.

I hope Franklin didn't tire you out, Mom.

Oh my. I couldn't keep up. Lands sakes! Where's my cane? [voice gets shakier, as she gets more into the "helpless old Granny" act] Somebody find my cane.

Do you know who has that penny whistle now?

Franklin

Who?

Rabbit.

Franklin

[gasps] You mean this one in the picture... and the one I traded...

When Franklin was a baby, his father played that whistle to make him stop crying.

Franklin

He did?

Who's coming first?

Me!

That's what I like in my music students - enthusiasm.
