There's Nothing Like A Little Grandmother Energy

---

Teacher me…

Packed her bags and headed up the street for her first substituting day of the year…

A day doing what she loves…doing what she knows…doing what she’s always done…teaching reading…

Not five minutes into the day…up walks a kindergartener…cute as a bug…eyes light up…smile breaks out…swings his arms wide and says…Well hello there, Grandma!..

And it didn’t stop there…perhaps a blessing or a curse…not sure to be honest…but group after group…

Are you our teacher’s grandma?..did our teacher ask her grandma to teach for her?..

Have been asked many things…have been called many things…but never Grandma this many times in one setting…

Not sure the difference…maybe more gray hair…more wrinkles…just happen to be channeling that Grandmother Energy…

Which apparently is a thing…a real thing…coined as an energy that is nurturing…supportive…knowledgeable…and embracing of life…

Which is a good thing to channel with all kids…bigs…littles…grands or not…but not gonna lie…made an appointment first thing the next day…gonna get rid of the gray…

Cuz it’s one thing to be mistaken for the grandma of a kindergartener…but a whole other thing being mistaken for the grandma of the teacher of the kindergartener…more than once…
​
And that husband of mine…agrees…
