I am soooo...Uncool.

[Martinius]

We had to pick up my 13 year old granddaughter after school today. So I parked the car (a very uncool 10 year old Toyota) and waited. My wife says don't wave when you see her. But I had my window rolled down and when I saw my granddaughter I just stuck my hand out a little so she would see where we were. She gets in the the car and the first thing she says is, "Grandpa, don't wave."

Well....we have to pick her up again tomorrow so I promised I wouldn't wave. But I am thinking of bringing a sign with her name on it, like drivers picking up people at the airport use. I'll just hold it out the window. Or maybe one of those big foam hands formed into a number 1, like you see at sports events.

What do you think?

I think you'll be suprised at how angry she might be.

I think you're an evil genius!

You should contribute this one to some comedy writers marty.
I have a 10 year old Toyota too by the way. Actually its 11 years old.

I doubt I am a genius, and I am usually not evil. But I probably won't do anything at all. I got it, I'll stand outside the car, wearing a trench coat, hat and sun glasses, with my arms folded, like Matthew Broderick did in "Ferris Buehler".

I am hoping my Toyota makes it to 20. But I am a tall guy, and in a few years I might have difficulties getting in and out of it (and the antlers make it worse). I know, I'll give it to my granddaughter in a few years! But I'll glue a hula girl bobble head in the rear window, and put an AARP sticker on the bumper.

I probably wouldn't do it if she just said "thank you for picking me up."

True. I'm just going by what my 16 year old would do. Apparently, its an absolute no-no, which I once found out the hard way...

I am learning. But saying thank you shouldn't be a no-no.

She is also the grandchild, who just a couple of years back, told some friends that her grandparents were visiting. When asked which ones, she said "the fun ones." I really, really loved that. But she is a teenager now.
