For the elderly, granddaughters-in-law are more cherished than grandchildren. Alas, having so many grandsons and no granddaughters, too many grandchildren become less valuable.
“No, grandma didn’t say anything bad about you. Don’t think grandma is so nagging, okay?” Camryn said to Callum while smiling at the old lady.
The old lady deliberately said loudly, “Camryn, let me tell you, Callum used to wet the bed the most when he was a child. Even when he was five or six years old, he would sometimes wet the bed. He always said he was looking for the bathroom in his dreams. He’d search and search, and when he found it, he’d pee quickly.”
“Grandma!” Callum shouted anxiously over the phone. “Grandma, I was still a child back then!”
Callum tried to defend himself. Yes, he wet the bed the most among the brothers. The other brothers generally stopped wetting the bed once they could walk and talk. They went to the bathroom before bed and slept until morning.
But unlike them, he always had to drink water before bed and wouldn’t go to the bathroom afterward, so he often wet the bed in the middle of the night. Still, he was just a child at five or six years old, not fifteen or sixteen.
Camryn was already laughing.
The old lady said seriously, “What grandma said is true.”
“You should remember it too. Haha.”
The old lady couldn’t help but laugh heartily after saying that last part.
Callum wanted to crawl through the phone line and cover grandma’s mouth.
Grandma did it on purpose.
“I told you not to doubt grandma. You thought she was saying bad things about you, so grandma had to share your embarrassing stories to be fair.”
The old lady replied, “I didn’t take the phone from you, and I won’t disturb you two from saying sweet things. As long as you don’t shout loudly, grandma, being old and having hearing loss, won’t hear it.”
Callum thought to himself, that’s strange. When he asked his wife a question just now, he didn’t speak loudly, but grandma still heard it.
Grandma’s ears were very sharp, like rabbit ears, always alert.
If you praised her, she seemed to have trouble hearing. But if you said something bad about her, she would definitely hear it clearly.
By the way, what he said just now wasn’t bad. He knew his grandma’s temperament well and knew she would share stories about him in front of Camryn, so he asked instinctively, which prompted the old lady to reveal his embarrassing childhood bed-wetting incident.
