- 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.'
- 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 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.
