Grandchildren Can Say They Funniest Things!

I recently came across this hilarious little list on wimp.com that II thought would be something fun to share and enlighten your day. We all know that children are usually very good at telling us “the truth” or “the way it is” in innocent and honest ways. I trust that the following article will bring a smile to your face and a song to your heart as it did mine.

It’s no secret that grandparents love to spoil their grandchildren. While our parents typically mean the world to us, our grandparents usually hold a special place in our hearts. They may seem strange and old fashioned at times, but there is something so honest and sweet about how they appreciate the simple things in life. Nothing ever seems to make them nearly as happy as when they are spending time with family, and they have no greater love than spoiling their grand kids.

A group of eight-year-olds were ask to define what a grandparent is. The brutally-honest answers they gave are nothing short of hilarious.

• Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people’s.
• A grandfather is a man and 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 color 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 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 badly.
• 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.”
• 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!
