Now that my university classmates are all in their sixties and have attained grandparents status, they do occasionally share thoughts and little stories about being grandparents. I find some of them amazingly true now that we are in that category.
Some of the short write-ups by a class of 8-year old:
- 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 don't say, "Hurry up."
- Usually are fat but not so fat to tie your shoes.
- 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.
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."
