Why? That's been happening to, rne" all
Week I find myself whistling„,,,, tossing
echeery salutes to colleagues .a$ generally

:'Settle down, boy. Thie,A't like 011," I

normally a
gloem-pnt, bur ‘neither do I. go 'around,
grinning like an idiot. My wife, early in ear
acquaietance, nicknamed me "Stoneface."
My average expression could probably. be
described as saturnine.
That's why I was a little alarmed to find
myself breaking into broad smiles this
week. When I actually found myself being
jolly with the bass,-I knew it was time to
stop and pull myself thgether.
"'Look, Bill," I said to myself, "you have
not been drinking; you are not senile;
nobody hasleft you a large sum of money,
Full, yourself together. Why are you going
around all hummy inside like a little old
humming-bird?"
And then it struck me. 'Pokey is in town.
Pokey, if you came in late, is,Nicov Chen
Sieber, my grand-babby, all rosy, satin .
cheeks and huge brown eyes and golden
4-lair and little white teeth and twenty-two
pounds of hellery of him.
Some of you will remember an old song
that went, "Sugar in the morning, sugar in
the evening, sugar at supper time..."
Those ancient, spavined ladies who were
once the-fabulous Andrews Sisters tnade it
a bit.
Well, that's what it is like when . my
grandbabby is around. 'It's sugar first thing
in the morning, when I get down for
breakfast. The sugar consists of a little jig
of glee, two big eyes, a tiny white grin, and
two wee arms thrust up, demanding a
pickup, a dozen or so kisses, a dandle, a
song, a little soft-shoe shuffle, and
anything else that the old man can muster
for the early service. .
Of course, it's all a plot. Reason tells me
this. The kid has been trained from birth to
know who has the money in the family, who
is the softest touch, the biggest sucker. •
But reason is washed away by the floods
of emotion when the downy head snuggles
into one's neck, or the tiny finger goes into
the .air, pointing at a sun-reflection on the
wall, or the sturdy little body, proceeding
like a bishop on roller skates, marches to
,the fire-irons, picks up the 'poker, and
gravely hands it to one, ignoring everyone
else in the room.
So,'The hell With reason. I'm Making a
new will. My wife has practically

stocks, and the beautiful foot-stool that his'
great-grandfather, ari. hie, fother's side,
'fashioned with his own hands That's all I '
won, brut it should 'set him up pretty well
,for .life.
- And that' may be only a start,' We took
him to see his other R;r1at,grandad on the
weekend. It was quite a symbolic, touching
Meeting, their first.
There was a little more than eighty years
between them, but they were close 'buddies
from the start.
great-Grandad was wafting, arms open.
Great-Grandbabby .stuck out his arms.
Gredt-Grandad's eyes got all red around ,
the edges. Great-Grapdbabby grinned. It
was as simple as that.
For the rest of the weekend; there really
wasn't anybody else around of, • much
account. There was only one. clock-of-the-
walk, 41115 months Of him, This despite, or
because of the fact that Great-Grandbabby
had no less than dile following heeding his
every wish!' one great-great-aunt, two
great-aunts, two great-uncles, one gran,
one grandad, one mother and four assorted
cousins, young enough to be his brothers
and sisters..Talk about a ,spoil-rotten kid!
To my mind, this is the way a "baby
should be brought up, amidst a veritable
horde of people who love him because he is
a beautiful baby, and love him even more
because he is theirs, with all that fine'blood
in him.
This still happens among a few
primitive tribes, but has almost vanished
from our vaunted western society, where
even grannies and grandads, let alone the
"greats", are neatly tucked away into
nursing homes where they are lucky to get
a perfunctory visit once a month from their
own children, let alone ever have a chance
to cuddle and, kiss the tiny ones, who bear
their blood and bones and spirit.
No child in this world has ever been
spoiled by a surfeit of love. And who has
more time and love to give than the
"grands" and the "greats"?
At any rate, as I told my daughter after
she 'had come in from pacing off her
grandfather's land, "That boy obviously
knows which side his bread is buttered on.
You have trained him well. He has me
hooked. He has his great-grandfather
hooked. If , he plays his cards right, he
might wind up as a member of the landed
gentry,: as well as the owner of a
15-year-old pair of hilt waders."
