creative grandpa bob
creative storyteller prints booklets of his tale with each child named as hero
grandpa bob created a story about a brave child
finding a way to defeat the monster under the bed
at the fair, he printed that story complete with colorful illustrations
he filled in each particular child’s name and age
then handed the booklet to her or him and watched
round eyes light up as they heard their name as the hero of the tale
children he didn’t know but cared about as only a doting grandpa can
