They like other people\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A grandfather is a man and a grandmother is a lady!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grandparents don\u2019t have to do anything except be there when we come to see them\u2026 They are so old they shouldn\u2019t play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also why we shouldn\u2019t step on \u201ccracks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They don\u2019t say, \u201cHurry up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They wear glasses and funny underwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They can take their teeth and gums out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grandparents don\u2019t have to be smart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have to answer questions like \u201cWhy isn\u2019t God married?\u201d and \u201cHow come dogs chase cats?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When they read to us, they don\u2019t skip. They don\u2019t mind if we ask for the same story over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don\u2019t have television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time and kiss us even when we\u2019ve acted bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GRANDPA IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH!
