Let's
get these two monkeys out of the way first!
ERIN
BEVERLEY BROWN
She is the older
pup in this category, now 14 [as of 6/5/10] and is an accomplished Swimmer, Scuba Diver, Scottish Country Dancer, Cornet /Horn
player, and is a member of the Stranrer Brass Band... And lately ... Actress and Singer!
She has already reached
'Masters' level in manipulating her Granddad!
EUAN
COCHRANE BROWN
He was 9 on December
17th 2009 and is already training to be a pilot (Thunderbird 4 I think,
or is it 3?)
This
wee, or rather not
so wee guy, is into 'Mechanics' big-time! Just like all
in this category, he can dismantle/reassemble the 'unsuspecting item'... and still be left with SEVERAL
bits!
He is now a competent Airline pilot, and regularly
flies various types of aircraft on MANY routes, follows ATC instructions and takes off and lands safely at the designated
airports, using the latest Microsoft 'Flight Simulator' program. [A chip off the ol'
block if ever there was one!]
However,I do worry a little about his Internet
& Discovery Channel preferances for checking out
Crash Scenes... be it cars, planes or whatever... but mostly planes!
Car journeys, when Euan & I are onboard generally take longer than normal...
'Pre-Flight' checks have to be carried out, then
all ATC instructions have to be followed between Portpatrick & Stranraer International Airports!
He has recently become obsessed with FERRIES!
[I wonder why!]
Like his older sibling, he has also mastered the art of'Manipulation',
with one subtle difference... NANNA is his target!
... He has a remarkably high success rate here!
Nanna &
Granddad both 'twigged' immediately of course, and are 'Impervious'
to this attempted manipulation!
(WE WISH!)
What is it about Grandchildren that brings out
the WORST in Grandparents? !!
