Cousin Reader


Last night Kiernan's cousin Kelsey spent the night here at Gammy and Grance's house, while the other cousins went to the hotel with their parents. Kelsey was an absolute gem as she read with Kiernan before he went to bed. He was so happy to have her there.

Earlier in the evening a few of us were sitting around and talking. Kiernan sidled up to Kelsey and asked her, "How old are you?"

She replied, "Thirteen."

Kiernan processed this for a moment. He silently mouthed the word 'thirteen'. Then he said, with a mixture of awe and surprise and excitement,

"You're a teenager?!?"

Kelsey indicated that this was, indeed, the case.

Kiernan said, "I'm gonna be a teenager when I grow up!"

Let's hope teenage-hood isn't a permanent condition as K-Man makes it sound. However, I am sure he will be a charming teen just like his dad.
