The following were
taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds:
WHAT IS A
GRANDPARENT?
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.'
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 snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even
when we've acted bad.
MY GRANDMOTHER
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.
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.
(I hope this made
you smile!!!!!)
