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 grandmother.
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 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.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
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.
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.''

Oh how precious. I am not sure which one is my favorite. But I really really like the one having Grandma living at the airport. Thanks for this one today.

Thank you Barb. This is awesome. Never know what the little ones will say. I love the one that says grandparents are the only adults that like to spend time with them. Really cute!
