Grandmothers Everyone Should have a grandma

Grandmothers Everyone Should have one.

Definition of a grandmother as seen through the eyes of an eight-year-old.

A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own, so she likes other people's little girls and boys.

A grandfather is a man grandmother. He goes for walks with the boys and talks about fishing and tractors, but grandmothers don't have to do anything just be there. Grandad is a soft touch and a useful ally when grandma is angry. They also know some great stories and pretend that there were no computers when they were kids.

They don’t need to eat at meal times just be up and down fetching us something else we need, even if mummy is there.

Usually they are fat, but not too fat to tie children's shoelaces. They wear glasses and funny underwear and they can take their teeth out.

They don't have to be clever, only answer questions like, "Why do dogs hate cats? and why is the moon in the sky?”

They don't baby-talk like visitors. When they read to us they don't miss bits out or mind if it's the same story over again.they even use different voices in their stories, and sometimes fall asleep while they are reading.

Everybody should have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television.

 

Little Flo.

A dear little baby brother

Had come to live with Flo

And she wanted him brought t’table

So he might eat and grow.

“You must wait awhile ,”

said grandma in answer to her plea.

“poor little thing’s baht toothies.”

Can’t eat like you and me.

“ But why has it no toothies?”

in surprise asked Flo

“Can’t we buy it some like grandma’s?”

“that’s what I’d like to Know.”

That afternoon into the corner went Flo

Armed with pen and ink.

I’m writing a letter to heaven

“Don’t speak you’ll spoil my think.”

Dear God,

The baby you sent us, is awfully nice and sweet

But because you forgot his toothies

The poor lad can’t eat.

So I’m sending you this letter

On purpose to let you know,

To come and finish our baby

That’s all

From

Little Flo
