Meet Grandpa Charming

Let me tell you about Grandpa Charming. When prince charming was about 10 and didn't study enough for his test and didn't bring in wood when requested, his father (Grandpa Charming) decided that he was a failure and didn't live up to his potential.

You see Grandpa Charming had a set of rules and expectations that Prince Charming was to live up to. Now, Prince Charming was never given a set of these rules (that would make it too easy) but everytime he didn't live up to these expectations he was told, loudly, how he was a lazy failure.

Grandpa Charming is a simple man who makes his living off the sea and he doesn't understand how any Charming son of his, may want to do something different. Now, I have talked to Grandpa Charming about Prince Charming and we discuss how smart he is and how proud he is of his son, but he NEVER tells him this. Every time they talk, it boils down to a conversation which leaves both men angry and leaves Prince Charming feeling like a disappointment.

Now for the last few years, Grandpa Charming has been demanding suggesting that we move closer to them. It would be easier and Prince Charming could go and make his living on the sea. And after all this time, we have given in decided to move near them.

Given the situation between Prince Charming and Grandpa Charming, is it any wonder that the idea of having the two of them anywhere near each other scares me a little.

Well I have to go, I have a suit of armor in the basement to pack, I have a feeling that it may come in handy when these two live closer together.
