Chapter 14

“Sarah, you have a call.”

“Take a message, please. I just started kneading this dough, and I have sticky stuff up to my elbows.”

“Can’t do that,” Charles responded. “This is a critical call. I’ll put it on speaker.”

Suddenly words rang out across the kitchen. Charles had set the speaker volume on high. “Grandma, I love my sports quilt. It’s so cool," the young voice called out. “Man, just wait ‘til Buddy sees this. None of my friends have anything this awesome. Thanks, Grandma.”

“You’re very welcome, Jimmy. I enjoyed making it for you.”

“Uh, Grandma?” he said, sounding hesitant and somewhat embarrassed.

“Yes?”

“Could you not call me Jimmy anymore?”

“Okay, but why?”

“It’s a little kids’ name.”

“So what shall I call you?” Sarah asked as she winked at Charles.

“Jim,” he responded, “or James if you want. Just not Jimmy.”

“Done. From now on, you’re my grandson, Jim or James, never Jimmy.”

“Thanks," he responded. "And thanks for the quilt. I gotta go. Bye"

“You’re very welcome, Jim. Tell your family hello from me.”

“I will,” he responded with a smile in his voice.

After Charles had hung up the phone, they both burst out laughing. “They’re becoming teenagers younger and younger, aren’t they?”

“They sure are,” Sarah responded. “I almost put a label on that quilt that read: ‘For my grandson Jimmy.’ It’s a good thing I ran out of time.”
