What insightful questions from such young boys!

My Grandsons Matthew and Braeden got here last night. They are 9 and 8 and when Mom has her Sundowner's chattering and yelling it makes them a little uncomfortable but they are getting much more used to it. So much so that they are asking questions and I like that, it shows so much maturity that such young boys would care to ask. When Mom started Matthew came in and said "Is she singing?". I said No. I am so disappointed that I did not say yes because I think it kind of scares Matthew and I think what he was trying to do is make it okay by confirming it was just her singing, very much out of tune but singing nonetheless. I mean Matthew is used to hearing singing out of tune from all of us! I did explain that what happens sometimes is when people get old they get a disease that affects their brain and so even though they can think something they cannot get it from their brain to their mouth and so it comes out like that. Braeden, without missing a beat said, "Does SHE know what she is saying?" I said yes. What insightful questions I thought! Maybe when she does it again I will say ya know Matthew, I think you are right, I think she is singing!
