keep me

When I was a little girl, my massively tall grandpa (the one married to my diminutive grandmother) would often tease me by saying "what am I going to do with you?!"

"Keep me!" I'd always answer.

So now, of course, I've made this my own.  And tonight, the younger lad turned the tables on me:
"Know what I'm going to do, Mama?"
"What?" (I truly had no idea what to guess.)

"Guess!"
"What?"  I asked again.

"I'm going to keep you!" he gleefully declared.
"Thank you.  Please do."
