Little Grandpa celebrated his 90th birthday this past weekend. This is Uta's Great Grandfather, and why Uta calls him 'little' is any body's guess. Uta knows nothing really of the man he once was, age has reduced him to a one-dimensional version of his old self. When I asked Uta about him he said he doesn't think he knows who he is because when we visit, little Grandpa just calls him Bozo. Uta said he always bangs his cane at him and makes a sort of monster noise. Maybe he hasn't changed that much since I was a kid.... at that time his classic sound was an airy whistle, like a cuckoo clock. Whenever he saw me he teased me with his own version of the nursery rhyme Georgie Porgie.
