I was feeling a little sorry for myself the other day...my Mom and Dad both died before they got to enjoy being Grandparents...they would have been GREAT!  Plus, with all that's going on, it would have been nice to have them around to talk to.  So I just lift my head up and talk to Heaven...then I recieved this...too funny!  enjoy! icart

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no
 little children of her own.
 They like other people's . 
 
 
 
A grandfather is a man grandmother 
 
 
 
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 store and have lots of quarters for
 us . 
 
 
 
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 color 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 grown ups who
 like to spend time with
 us. 
 
 
They know we should have snack-time before bedtime
 and they say prayers
 with us every time, 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 !
