?What is a
Grandparent??
Some eight-year-olds
were asked ?What is a Grandparent?- this is only some of their answers!
1. Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of
their own. They like other people's.
2. A grandfather is a man grandmother.
3. 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.
4. When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty
leaves and caterpillars.
5. They don't say, ?Hurry Up!?
6. Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.
7. They wear glasses and funny underwear.
8. They can take their teeth and gums out.
9. Grandparents don't have to be smart.
10. They have to answer questions like ?Why isn't God married?? and ?How
come dogs chase cats??
11. When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for
the same story over again.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. A six-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 are done having her visit, we take her back to the
airport.? |
