Cute and pretty true!

I got this in an email from Linda. Thought I ought to share it. Sorry, no Sunday still from me. I guess I didn’t think to take any pictures of the food we ate. I might get one up later.

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 their
    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 colors 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 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 grownups who like to spend time with
    us.

      They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers
    with us 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!

      It’s funny when they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their
    dog.
