Ring my bell, ring my bell

This was the name of a popular song in 1979. But my post isn’t about the song, it’s about the bell. If you have grandkids you know they set the rules. There are trivial things to us that are important to them. One is ringing the doorbell. A visit from your grandkids is important for you and them, but it starts with the ringing the bell. 

     Nowadays, we know when visitors are coming before they reach the porch, because most every house has a camera watching their entrance. Kids like to ring the doorbell. They don’t want you to come to the door before the ring. In fact, it’s disappointing to them if you open the door without the ring. As an adult this seems silly, but what’s important to young kids is different than what you deem important. Ringing the doorbell is a simple thing, but it rates high on their list of priorities. 

     If you have more than one grandchild, it’s fun to watch them race each other to the door to push the doorbell. So, no mater how anxious you are to see them, wait to answer the door until you hear the bell. Little things can be important to the little people. “Just Saying . . .”
