The Story of Jesse's Life: Grinching

Last night I was in the basement puttering around in the storage room (you know me, I was trying to find something to throw away) when I heard Jesse frantically calling,

"Della, turn out the lights! Hurry!!!"

So I complied and then slowly...carefully...it was really dark...went to find him. When I asked why we were sitting in darkness, Jesse told me that he had seen carolers across the street...

Good Grief!

As we sat on the stairs in the dark a few minute listening for the sounds of singing, Jesse asked,

"Does this make you feel like a Grinch, or what?"

Oh boy! We sure know how to be merry around here.
