to clean their rooms such a short time ago

are now in charge of your grandchildren."

it's being married to a grandfather that bothers her."

Ok, here is a joke:

One Sunday morning just before church little Johnny (all cleaned up in his Sunday best) slipped in a huge mud puddle.

His Mama and Grannie were horrified to see his best clothes soaked with mud and water!

Johnny's mother threw her hands in the air and shouted," Johnny, every time you pull a stunt like this you give me another gray hair!!!"

Johnny slowly looked at his gray haired Grannie and said, "Well, if that is the case, Mama, then you must have been an awful kid..."

Great quotes!

I thought both my boys and my mother would go crazy while we were in Texas this past week. They wanted to call her everyday!

No cowboy was ever faster on the draw than a grandparent pulling a baby picture out of a wallet.  ~Author Unknown

Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do.  Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley

The best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents.  You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida.  ~Dave Barry

What a bargain grandchildren are!  I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene Perret

Grandpa Dropped His Glasses

Grandpa dropped his glasses once

In a pot of dye,

And when he put them on again

He saw a purple sky.

Purple fires were rising up

From a purple hill,

Men were grinding purple cider

at a purple mill.

Purple Adeline was playing

With a purple doll;

Little purple dragon flies

Were crawling up the wall.

And at the supper-table

He got crazy as a loon

From eating purple apple dumplings

With a purple spoon.

--Leroy F. Jackson
