WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)
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.
Rylan loves her Grandparents and is really lucky to have two sets. We need some special prayers. Duane's Dad (PawPaw J.T.) is having surgery today for Bladder Cancer. My dad (Pops) has recently had surgery to remove Colon Cancer and he will be starting Chemo soon. Rylan loves her Grandpa's very much and we need them to be around for a LONG time.
