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 a snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted badly.




• 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.




Send this to other grandparents, almost grandparents, or heck, send it to everyone. It will make their day..
