Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 90851" data-attributes="member: 57167">Miss Ellie turned another page in the photo album and Margaret pointed eagerly at an old photo and said, “Isn’t that my parents?”“Oh yes it is,” Miss Ellie laughed. “Oh Donna, always the photographer, never willing to be in front of the camera.”“Tell me about it, my mama is not fond of having her picture taken!”“I love taking photos,” Rebecca said. “But not in that silly pose!” Rebecca frowned since the photo showed Ray holding Donna over his shoulder.“They don’t look silly they look cute!” Margaret smiled. “When was this taken grandma?” Margaret asked. “It really looks like they were in love.”“Oh they were at that time dear,” Miss Ellie acknowledged. “Mom really looks happy. I’ve never seen her look that way with Andrew.”Miss Ellie got a concerned look on her face and Rebecca asked, “Who’s Andrew?”“My former step-father!”“Oh,” Rebecca said.“He was nice but he’s not fun like dad!”“If you’ll say so,” Rebecca shrugged her shoulders before she pointed at a photo of a little boy sticking out his tongue.  “Who’s that?”“Oh that’s John Ross. He loved to clown in front of the camera,” Miss Ellie laughed.“He looks funny!” Rebecca laughed. But then she stopped laughing as she pointed toward another photo and said, “Who’s that with my daddy?” Rebecca crossed her arms. “That’s not my mom!” Rebecca pouted her lip, “Shame on you daddy!”“That’s Jenna Wade,” Miss Ellie said.“Oh, she’s the one who’s married to my father right?” Margaret asked and looked at the photo. It showed a beautiful woman laying in a sun chair. She was all wet. Next to her was Bobby standing with an empty bucket in his hands. He had a big playful grin on his face. “Yes that’s right dear,” Miss Ellie nodded. “Have you ever met her?”“No I haven’t,” Margaret shook her head.“But if she’s married to your daddy, what is she doing with my daddy?” Rebecca asked confused.Miss Ellie smiled, “Jenna and Bobby go way back. They were dating when they were younger. We all thought they would marry.”“Why didn’t they?” Margaret asked.“Dummy, ‘cause my daddy married my mommy of course!”Miss Ellie sighed, “Well that’s not how it happened. Jenna and Bobby broke up their engagement long before he married your mama!”“But if that’s so what is Uncle Bobby doing with Jenna Wade after he married Aunt Pam?” Margaret asked curiously.“Well that was because he divorced Pam and then he got back together with Jenna!” Miss Ellie told the girls not noticing the angry look on Rebecca's face until the little girl suddenly got up from the sofa. “I don’t like this, this is no fun anymore!” Rebecca screamed before she marched out of the room.Looking after her upset granddaughter Miss Ellie sighed, “Oh dear, I guess I opened a can of worms!”</blockquote>
