Another fun lunch with grandpa

Today we went to lunch at the same Italian restaurant as the last fun lunch with grandpa (see previous blog if interested), except today we actually went at lunch time- i.e. not 10:30 am. Actually he wanted to go at 12, but I reminded him that it might be pretty crowded at 12 so we better go just a bit earlier. We decided to meet at 11:30.

I don't know what time he arrived, but when I got there at 11:25, he was already there and looked like he had been waiting a while. So, I sat down at the table and he told me that he had already moved once because there were three guys at the next table and "they were talking so loudly!" Which, I'm not sure they were, but whatever. I could tell the waitress was agitated because he moved from her table to another section that she wasn't waiting on. Anyway, turns out he didn't like this new table either because three people came and sat next to us and he was worried they would be too loud too. So I reminded him that it is lunch time and it will probably be crowded so it doesn't matter where we sit, it will probably be a little loud.

Lunch was basically nice except he doesn't really listen to what you have to say, he just talks about what he wants to talk about- but knowing this, you don't get too upset when he just starts talking about something seemingly random.

The kicker of the day- he asked if we had thought of a name for the baby yet and I told him yes, we like the name Blake. Then he got this sour look on his face and said "I've never heard that name before. What kind of name is that? Who picked it, you or your husband?" I actually knew this would be the reaction, so it kinda amused me. I told him it's a fairly common name these days and that I know a few guys named Blake and that we both agreed on it. to which he said "well, as long as you both like it......" nice, huh?
