When Grandpa Whined to Grandma – Children’s Story

In 1989 in December Grandpa was all alone in his little room above the Saltsburg Supply Company.  Itwas cold!  Way too cold for Pennsylvania in December!  He had made a huge mistake, he was lonely, and he was cold!  He called Grandma in Savage Minnesota to whine about his troubles.

Grandma decided to fix everything by telling Grandpa a story about shopping at the big mall in Burnsville MN.  In no mood for a story, especially about shopping, Grandpa listened. After the story he changed.  He stopped his whining!  Whinning wasn’t working for him at all and it never should work for anybody, not for little insistent children and not for Moms and Dads and definitely not for Grandpa Hill. 

Gorf and Marshmallow help Grandpa Hill discuss whining  with some of his grandchildren.  Grandpa Hill appreciates that help as he promotes Thinking, Laughing a lot, and Living life fully. 

It so much better for your children, the children’s children and for all children if whining is never allowed to work.
