Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

Here's a good nyuk, nyuk that landed in my email box that I hope
breaks up some of the tension that this list has gone through with
some of the very, very, "passionate" arguments and threads that
have been discussed lately.... enjoy!

WHAT IS A GRANDMOTHER?

This was written by a 9 year old girl.

A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own, so she likes
other people's little ones.  A Grandfather is a man grandmother. He
goes for walks with the boys and they talk about fishing and tractors
and things like that.

Grandmas don't have to do anything except be there.  They're old, so
they shouldn't play hard or run.   It is enough if they drive us to
the market where the pretend horse is and have lots of dimes ready.

Or, if they take us for walks, they should slow down past things
like pretty leaves or caterpillars.   They should never, ever say
"hurry up."

Usually they are fat, but not too fat to tie kids' shoes.   They
wear glasses and funny underwear.   They can take their teeth and
gums out.

It is better if they don't typewrite, or play cards except with us. 
They don't have to be smart, only answer questions like why dogs
hate cats and how come God isn't married.   They don't talk baby talk
like visitors do, because it is hard to understand.   When they read
to us, they don't skip or mind if it is the same story again.

Everybody should try to have one, especially if you don't have
television, because grandmas are the only grown-ups who have got
time.
