Grandparents
1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup,
under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times
before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one
said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" I will
probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the
toilet paper good-bye...
2. My young grandson called the other
day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him,
62. My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at
1?"
3. After putting her grandchildren to
bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded
to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more
rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her
head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern
warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a
trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"
4. A grandmother was telling her little
granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on
a pond I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front
yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." The little
girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd
gotten to know you sooner!"
5. My grandson was visiting one day
when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally
polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?'' "You're both old," he
replied.
6. A little girl was diligently
pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was
writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied.
"I can't read."
7. I didn't know if my granddaughter
had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out
something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always
correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the
door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these,
yourself!"
8. When my grandson Billy and I entered
our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from
attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing
them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes
are coming after us with flashlights."
9. When my grandson asked me
how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your
underwear, Grandpa," he advised, "mine says I'm 4 to 6."
10. A second grader came home from
school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how
to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised,
tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting," she said, "how do you make
babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and
add 'es'."
11. Children's Logic: "Give me a
sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote:
"The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad
aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."
12. A grandfather was
delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck
zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian
dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to
keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another. "He's just for good
luck." A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs,"
she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."
13. 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."
14. 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!
15. My Grandparents are funny, when
they bend over; you hear gas leaks, and they blame their dog.
