You might wiggle and want to giggle.
But don’t yell, “Grandpa!” Not yet. Shhhhh . . .
Be as still
as a lion statue.
As soon as your grandpa says, “I give up,”
pop out and shout,
“HERE I AM!”
When your mom and dad leave, pat your grandpa’s hand
and say, “Don’t worry. They always come back.”
Then right away, ask him if he’s hungry.
