Bless You...Bless You...(again and again..7 plus times)


Bless You...Bless You...(again and again..7 plus times)
Eva

Charlie and Eva Jordan


 OK. So if you have read my post about my grandfather Charlie, then now you will hear about his Other half, my grandmother Eva.  I had to post this little cuteness and it gave me a smile and shows you what kids pick up.

My grandmother Eva could sneeze. When she would sneeze, it was not once and not twice. It was normally 7, 8 or maybe 9 times.  Then became the running joke that when someone in the family would sneeze numerous times, we would say EVA.  Well my mom tends to get it honestly...she sneezes and sneezes and it tends to be usually a large number of times and my mom normally says "Momma Im comin'" or "Allright Eva."  When my allergies are going strong I get to sneezing and think or say ok MaMa which is what we called her or ok now I sound like Eva.  Well we had been in Poquoson and Payton with the weather changes and temperature changes and I guess dust as wel las being around friends pets and the animal dander, Payton became my little sneezy.




Payton after a bunch of her sneezes said "Mommy aren't you going say what your suppose to say." I said "Bless you" and reminded her that I had already said it a ton of times.   She said "I know I heard you but the other thing that you tell grandmother (my mom Linda). I said "Oh ok. You mean "À tes souhaits". She said "No the other thing."  I then asked her you mean when Grandmother sneezes a bunch and I say "Ok Eva." She said "yes." So I then told her she was "Little Eva."  She then went on her way to play and do but it really made me think.

Eva would of loved Payton so much.  She would of taught her all kinds of stuff. Hopefully My mommy learned it ALL from her so she can pass it on... now that she is retired.  Miss you MaMa.
