He looked down at the map, the sunlight streaming through the window glinting off the stars on his cap.
“We should sneak in around the back here.” He pointed at a door labelled in the map. “Then get them with a sneak attack”
I nodded with agreement and my Grandfather, all of seventy years old, took the bag of water balloons and sneaked off with me and my brother in pursuit.
Whatever else; our family’s dinner party was going to be interesting.

I loved this! Grandpas are the best co-conspirators.
It is my hope I will be one myself.
The reveal is so perfect, well written.
Thanks!
Water baloons and grandads – a perfect combination.
Thanks!
Loved this, Joe! An endearing tale of grandpas. The visual is a fun one. 🙂
Thanks Lauren! Glad you liked it!
So sweetly crafted. 🙂 Very endearing. Brings memories of my own grandpa.
Glad you liked it!
(*chuckles*) Oh to see the looks on their targets’ faces!
Ha! A special grandpa—wonderful 🙂
Sounds like a fun family dinner. 😀

You do lighthearted well, Joe. I can picture the Grandfather sneaking around, too.
Thanks Leigh!
