My now 7 year old grandson, who lives 100 miles away, has had my mobile phone number memorized since he was 4.Since then, he has 36 me every night before he 37 to tell me about his day or just to say "Good Night Grandma".
He also 38 calls me at other times during the day just to 39 a happy or sad moment.Many times he's dribbling (运球)a basketball with one hand, 40 laughing with a friend about something that I never quite 41 about, or crying about something he may or may not want to talk about while I’m on the other end of the 42 .I just listen and empathize(心领神会)or laugh with him一just share his current 43 .I always let him be in charge of the subject, the emotion, and the amount of 44 he's on the phone with me. Many times I just listen to him play (or watch him on Skype), listen while he does his homework aloud, or play games we've made up together that we can play over the phone.
The only time I take 45 of the conversation is when he's 46 to say goodbye at night.Then I have 4 special 47 I say to him every night.One night I thought maybe he was 48 hearing those so didn't say them.He 49 called me back and told me that I 50 to say those sentences!I haven't 51saying them since then!
My friends all know that he takes precedence(优先权)over all other things. 52 I'm at a Doctor's appointment, in church, or some place where I really can't take his call, I always politely 53 myself and talk to him, 54 it's just for a minute to tell him I'll call him back in a few minutes.
He knows that he takes first place in my 55 ·
