Yes, sweetie, and quite amusing too

Everyone got handmade rings and bracelets from Emily's kit today.
She weaved them, to order, from scented rubber bands. Grandpa requested a nice blue on blue braid.
Emily and Grandpa held hands today as they stood in a long line at the Byerly's service counter in Chanhassen, waiting their turn to make an important transaction. Grandpa had explained the purpose of their errand and now they were just standing, watching the hustle and bustle of cashiers and carry-outs and shoppers, scurrying to and fro, busy with Christmas plans.
Finally, Emily broke the silence with a question that brought smiles to everyone standing and waiting a turn.
"Grandpa," she asked. "Am I being patient?"
