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.

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.


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.''

Send this to ALL grandparents. It will make their day.
