We've just had the family staying for a few days and, according to my 9 yr old grandson, my pick-up stick is cool, my key-turner is cool and my wheelchair is always so cool I've come to dread the words “Can I have a go with Grandma?” :shock:

I happened to mention that, when we move house to be near them in Scotland, I plan to get a mobility scooter. His eyes sparkled with delight at the coolness of that. I'm starting to feel a little hot under the collar :too-hot:

    It's the ultimate accolade to be cool - our grandsons were like that with the stair lift until the novelty finally wore off.

    I got a compliment too at the weekend, when we had the family - according to my 9 year old grandson, my sausage rolls were 'well good.' Given that I'm no Mary Berry I was quite pleased.

    Congratulations! When I showed my 4 year old grandson a photo of my mobilty scooter I got a "wow", and quite a few pupils have described my rollator as cool.
    Children are great for putting a positive spin on things.
    He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

    Do we conclude that arthritis is cool :? :lol: As long as it's someone else's?
