So, one morning we trot off to breakfast at the restaurant where Lindsay was working at the time. We hadn't been there long when Lindsay came over to our table and quietly mentioned (and immediately regretted doing so) that her new boyfriend - whom we had yet to meet - was sitting at the counter at the other end of the restaurant.
Unfortunately, a counter was blocking our view of the mystery man, so the meal immediately turns into a giant game of "Whack-A-Mole", as the kids and my husband keep popping their heads up, trying to catch a glimpse, while I smack them back down again. I thought my maneuver was much more subtle, as I casually leaned back in my chair and inconspicuously peeked around the corner. The restaurant was very busy, with a line up at the door, so it wasn't easy to see anyone in the crowd.
It wasn't long before Lindsay returned and hissed at us "He knows what you idiots are doing. He told me he can see you". Damn, busted. The embarrassment at being caught out, would make most people cease and desist, but not Grady. He takes the opportunity to jump up and wave. That earns him a cuff on the head from his sister. She then promptly turns to the customers at the next table who had audibly gasped in alarm at her actions, to explain that we were all related. That in itself, isn't something any of us readily admit to.
