Getting Granny's Goat

By Kathleen J Kidder

Summer break is nearly here and Greta can’t wait to spend a whole month on the farm with Granny and Grandpa.
In the weeks before school ends, Greta spends time getting ready for her long awaited adventure. One afternoon Greta’s dad, a sweet, somewhat mischievous individual, is teasing her mom . . . but to Greta it feels very real. She doesn’t like it at all and wonders how Momma will handle it. “Just getting Momma’s goat” is a saying that really bothers Greta.
A hard-working farmer and God fearing man, Grandpa loves his family and wants to make their dreams come true but when he mentions “getting Granny’s goat!” Greta worries her dream could quickly become a nightmare!
Greta learns lessons in loving others who don’t seemingly act nice, not to judge people’s intentions too quickly, along with gratitude and responsibility. Greta’s greatest life lesson involves trust and the beginning of a dream fulfilled.
