WHAT IS A GRANDMOTHER?

Enjoy! What is a grandmother? ( taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

A grandmother is a lady who has no little children of her own. She likes other people's.

A grandfather is a man grandmother.

Grandmothers don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also Why we shouldn't step on "cracks."

They don't say, "Hurry up."

Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandmothers don't have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like "why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?".

When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.

They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time, and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

Pass this along to another Grandmother. It will make her day

Makes me think of my grandson a few weeks ago,i was redecorating my daughters kitchen,i used an old clean pair of panties of mine as a cleaning rag,but cut out the crotch first lol,my granson picked them up, and held em up he said "whats this who's are these underpants?I said they were mine " he then replied "Oh boy they are huge nana you have a big butt there".He is only 7 yrs old at that age,who needs compliments ? Lmao.
