And still so sweet&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>\t1.   She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she&#8217;d done many times before.  After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, &quot;But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!&quot;  I will  probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>\t2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday.  He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 62.   My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked,  &quot;Did you start at 1?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair.  As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.  Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room,  putting them back to bed with stern warnings.  As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice,<br \/>\n\t&quot;Who was THAT?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like.  &quot;We used to skate outside on a pond.   I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard.  We rode our pony.  We picked wild raspberries in the woods.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tThe little girl was wide-eyed,  taking this all in.  At last she said, &quot;I sure wish I&#8217;d gotten to know you sooner!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t5.  My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, &quot;Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?&quot; I mentally polished my halo and I said, &quot;No, how are we alike?&#8221;  &quot;You&#8217;re both old,&quot; he replied.<\/p>\n<p>\t6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather&#8217;s word processor. She told him she was writing a story.<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;What&#8217;s it about?&quot; he asked.  <\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;I don&#8217;t know,&quot; she replied. &quot;I can&#8217;t read.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t7.  I didn&#8217;t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her.  I would point out  something and ask what color it was.  She would tell me and was always correct.  It was fun for me, so I continued.  At last, she headed for the door, saying, &quot;Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors  yourself!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin,  we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects.   Still, a few fireflies followed us in..  Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, &quot;It&#8217;s no use Grandpa.  Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, &quot;I&#8217;m not sure.&quot;  &quot;Look in your underwear, Grandpa,&quot; he advised  &quot;Mine says I&#8217;m 4 to 6.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t10. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, &quot;Grandma, guess what?  We learned how to make babies today.&quot;  The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. &quot;That&#8217;s interesting.&quot; she said.  &quot;How do you make babies?&quot; <\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;It&#8217;s simple,&quot; replied the girl. &quot;You just change &#8216;y&#8217; to &#8216;i&#8217; and add &#8216;es&#8217;.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t11. Children&#8217;s Logic: &quot;Give me a sentence about a public servant,&quot; said a teacher. The small boy wrote:  &quot;The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.&quot;   The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. &quot;Don&#8217;t you know what pregnant means?&quot; she asked.<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;Sure,&quot; said the young boy confidently. &#8216;It means carrying a child.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past.  Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog.  The children started discussing the dog&#8217;s duties.<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;They use him to keep crowds back,&quot; said one child.<\/p>\n<p>\t&quot;No,&quot; said another. &quot;He&#8217;s just for good luck.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\tA third child brought the argument to a close.&quot;They use the dogs,&quot; she said firmly, &quot;to find the fire hydrants.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived.  &quot;Oh,&quot; he said, &quot;she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her.  Then, when we&#8217;re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\t14. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth!  He teaches me good  things, but I don&#8217;t get to see him enough to get as smart as him!<\/p>\n<p>\t15. My Grandson once asked me, &quot;Grandma, have you got any kids?&quot;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> TommyC on January 24, 2012, 3:51 am<\/p>\n<div>kids are great<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on February 3, 2012, 12:09 pm<\/p>\n<div>Grand Kids are indeed fantastic.
