Hi Connie, thanks for your cntribution. This was for me an English lesson!
I obviously didn't get the sense of bragging correctly. Translated into German it has a negative connotation. As if someone were very much exaggerating things, so that he adds untrue parts to the positive facts. That's why I said, Bob is not bragging.
If in English this word has simply the meaning of being very proud of something, then of course Bob has a heap of good reasons to brag.
Ye gods man, go on bragging!

Special rights, special reasons and special motivations. Their bragging comes out of a heart overflowing with love. So wonderful to read such real life stories!

You must be kidding , happy Grandpa ,it is the other way round!!! (Just to disagree for a change, because I envy you)! ) Unfortunately I never had own children, but I have been a school teacher can imagine, that within the family they can sometimes be even much more difficult.

My grandkids got me a stick 5-6 yrs ago for my birthday and it was tagged "Poking stick" cause I always threaten them that I'll poke them with a stick if they misbehave.
I used to be able to at least scare them a bit but now it's "Oh POP" with lots of giggles and laughs.
Then they run like hell.
I just give them cookies now......if there are any in the pantry that the wife hid from me till they come over.
My son just shakes his head and asks "where was all this motivational training when I was a kid".
