Grandkids...They're the best!

After putting her children to bed, a mother changed into old slacks

and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the

children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last

she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting

them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard her

three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"

A mother was telling her little girl what her own childhood was like:

"We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire;

it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked

wild raspberries in the woods." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this

in.

At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, Grandma, do you know

how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked,

"No, how are we alike?"

"You're both old," he replied.

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her father's word

processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked.

"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I

decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was.

She would tell me, and always she was correct. But it was fun for me, so

I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma,

I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were

ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her

what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall

not take the covers off thy neighbor's wife."

Our five-year-old son Mark couldn't wait to tell his father about the

movie we had watched on television, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." The

scenes with the submarine and the giant octopus had kept him wide-eyed.

In the middle of the telling, my husband interrupted Mark, "What

caused the submarine to sink?" With a look of incredulity Mark replied, "Dad, it

was the 20,000 leaks!"

When my grandson, Billy, and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept

the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky

insects.

Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did,

Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us

with flashlights."

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm

not sure."

"Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine says I'm four."
