Once upon a time in Mumbai

note to self

Let grandparents spoil their grandkids.

Let them slip an extra cookie when you're not looking.

Let them tuck a dollar into a pocket or pick out a toy instead of something practical.

Let them drive across town just to take them out for ice cream on a Tuesday night.

Because truth we don't like to say out loud is this: kids are only little for a short while, and grandparents aren't around forever either.

There will come a day when your babies are too old to crawl into Grandma's lap. When they won't giggle over the magic trick Grandpa has done a hundred times before. When Happy Meals will be replaced with car keys and curfews and part-time jobs.

And there will come a day when the seat at the end of the table is empty, when the phone doesn't buzz with a "can the kids come over?"

So while kids are small and grandparents are able—let them soak each other in. Let them do the silly, sweet, extra-special things that make you roll your eyes a little but secretly smile too.

Because it's not about the candy or the toys or the treats.

It's about the memories.

It's about the joy on both of their faces.

It's about the kind of love that skips a generation and lands in the middle like a warm hug.

Let them spoil each other.

One day, those little extras will be the big things we cherish.
