Re: I'm about to be a GRANDMA!!

OMGosh!!! No one told me I had to take up knitting (let me see...knit one pearl two???) What else are grandma's expected to do?

Oh, you're gonna have a ball!

You get to feed them loads of rubbishy, sugary foods and not worry about the tantrums.

You get to take them for long muddy walks and not worry about the carpets.

You get to buy them all the things you wouldn't buy for your's - especially noisy and messy things like drums and playdoh.

You don't have to worry that they don't eat a square meal at your place.

You get to have them for sleepovers and break all the rules.

The list goes on and on. As I said you're gonna have a ball!! Lol.

Re: I'm about to be a GRANDMA!!

Ok, now your talking my kind of grandma stuff! All of that I can handle. But ask me to:

Knit a baby blanket
Get old and fat
Wear an apron and bake oatmeal cookies
Sit in a rocking chair made for me and not the baby
Take Geratol
Wear lipstick and put kiss marks on her face
Pinch her cheeks
Turn my already gray hair into white
Use a walking cane or walker (just because I'm a grandma)
etc.

well...I just don't think I can handle those types of things just yet. I'm in denial about my age...Can you tell!! lol

Linda! LOL...Now you will be remembered when you are old and gray as saying "I just wanna squash him"!

I've never had a grandmother around, both died before I was born, but I had an older aunt that was like a grandma and she always use to pinch my cheeks! Ouch!! I use to hate that. I swore I would never do that to my kids or grandkids....we'll see.. I see a new theme starting here....

Ok everyone, what is the best and worst things you remember about your grandmother(s)!!
