What Are Grandmas?

(Written by a third grader)

A grandma is a lady who has no little children of her own. She likes other peoples. A grandfather is a man grandma. Grandmas don't have to do anything except be there. They are old, so they shouldn't play hard or run, just garden.

It's enough if they drive us to the store and have a lot of dimes ready. When they take us for walks they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. They never say, "Hurry Up."

Usually grandmas are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth out. Grandmas don't have to be smart -- they only have to answer questions like... "Is God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?"

When they read to us, they don't skip lines or mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandma, especially if you don't have a TV... because grandmas are the only grown-ups who have the time for us!!!
