What is a grandmother? ( taken from papers written by a class of 8 year olds)
--
A grandmother is a lady who has no little children of her own. She likes other people's.
--
A grandfather is a man grandmother.
--
Grandmothers 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 don'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.
--
Grandmothers 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.
--
Pass this along to a Grandmother or two. It will make their day.
