Grandparents


WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(taken from  papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man &a grandmother  is a lady!

Grandparents 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 shops and give us  money.

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.

Grandparents 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 a s k 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.


A 6 YEAR OLD WAS ASKED WHERE HIS GRANDMA  LIVED.
''OH,'' HE SAID, ''SHE LIVES AT THE AIRPORT  AND WHEN WE WANT HER WE JUST GO GET HER. THEN WHEN WE'RE DONE HAVING HER  VISIT, WE TAKE HER BACK TO THE AIRPORT.''

GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH!  HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS BUT I DON'T GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS  SMART AS HIM!
