Today's Cake-Taker

This is my favorite one to date:

"Do you know R1?"
"Yep! Love her."
"Oooh she loves you."
"Yeah?"
"Oh yeah. Talks about you a lot."
"Yeah?"
"Oh yeah. I think it's safe to say you're her hero."
"Yeah?"
"Oh definitely. She really admires you."

(R1: I'd be happy to send you an autographed photo.)

I remember a similar conversation about 15 years ago. I was Babysitter aged and R1 was Babysittee aged. I was older and that was cool to her. Grandma mentioned this at the time. There's a lot of "looking up to" when you're 6 years older than all the other grandkids. I think she's thinking of back then.
