There Is Nothing Like A Grandmother
(Written by 3rd graders)
She let's you put your vegetables back in the pot if you don't want to eat them.
She let's you have the toys that your mother really didn't want you to have.
A Grandmother is one who comes to football games and cheers when she doesn't know what is happening.
My Grandmother gives me candy and money, my other Grandmother is just the same, only she gives me meatballs and ice cream.
A Grandmother always thinks that you are going to get hurt playing football.
A Grandmother says she has a very good memory, but she can't remember her age.
Usually a Grandmother is fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes, they wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off.
Grandmothers don't have to be smart, only answer questions like, "Why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?"
Everybody should have a Grandmother, especially if you don't have a television, because they are the only grown-ups who have time.
