But maybe a rotten peach.  (smile)

Here's something for you all.


WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT?
(taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)
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.''
Send this to other grandparents. It will make their day.
