Out Of The Mouth Of Grandchildren

[Bummer Knees]

She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!"


My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"



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, "Who was THAT?"


A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "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." The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"


My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"
"You're both old," he replied.


A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she #####

I didn't know if my granddaughter replied. "I can't read."

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 sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"


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, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."


When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised. "mine says I'm four to six."


A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting," she said, "how do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."


Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."


A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.
"No," said another, "he's just for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants...

ROFL...those are adorable Bummer I love the first one, LOL

Bummer...I love those, and wow can I relate to a lot of them.... the other day my little Brianna who just turned 3 spent the night at our house with Alexia her big sister... Alexia asked Brianna, "Brianna, how old are you?" and Brianna said, "3." Then Alexia asked her, "How old am I?" and Brianna said, "9." then Alexia asked her, "how old is grandma?" Brianna looked at me with a big smile and said, "Grandma old." I guess that makes it true...I am now officially old, out of the mouths of grand children.... I love mine so much...they are the light of my life... can't wait to meet my new one...of course he is a grandson ... he is the 5th and that is a special grand child to me..... love Red

[jayne]

do you have one that isnt special?

[red1030]

laughing...jayne you are so clever.... of course they are all special. There is a reason why I feel the 5th will be very special.... I know this will sound silly, but I was the 5th grand child on my dad's side to a mother who had 56 grand children. I was also the 5th grand child on my mothers side to a mother who had 37 grand children.... so what right...I was destined to be first... as a girl I was my grandma David's first grand daughter.... that is my dad's mom... if I had been a boy I would have been the first grand son to my grandma Miller.... either way I was the born the 5th grand child to both grandparents and whether I was born a girl or a boy...I would have been the first to someone...so you see...Alexia was my first grand daughter...now I am going to have a first grandson who is 5th...silly uh? Red

Bummer,
Those are all so cute. My granbabies are David 2&1/2 and the twins Vanessa and Elizabeth 1&1/2. I haven't seen them since the girls were born. I flew out to Ca. and helped my daughter for the first 2 weeks when they came home from the hospital. I call myself MeeMaw to them, my grandson can now say it, but he was saying Meatball, lol. I laughed each time he said it. The last time I talked to him on the phone I said I love you and he said I too. I love hearing him saying new things to me. We try to talk by phone every few weeks and sometimes sooner. They all are special to me. The girls now will say Hi on the phone and thats all so far.

I was getting ready for my Dr's appointment today when my son, father to Kia and Kassie who will be three in March, and Raven who turned one in Sept. called me. He said that he was in the bathroom with Kassie (who is potty training) and she took his cell from him and was having quite the conversation with no one. So he decided to call me so that she could really talk to someone.

The minute that she got the phone back, she said as clear as a bell "HI Gramma" and then "I love you". Although she had said this to me before, it had never been so clear. Then she continued (with a little translation from Dad in the background) to ask me how I was and what is you doin' Gramma. As the conversation proceeded, we discussed her Dad neediing a shower (which he proclaimed he had taken already) her baby sister napping, and how she got to take a bath and paint the bathtub, and how she was going to be a big girl and wear big girl panties. We probably talked for 20 or so minutes before she decided that it was time to go and harass her brother.

I so wanted to crawl through the phone and give her hugz and kisses. I have only seen pics of my babies, and to this day haven't gotten the chance to hold a one in my arms.

My grandson that will be 2 in March calls his grandpa " BUM BUM".lol. My husband hates being called that so much that he gets mad at me when i repeat it. His " BUM BUM" is the light of his life as he never seen his dad since he was born.

One day my daughter was watching " sponge bob" and my grandson said " BUM BUM". So now we figured out who BUM BUM really is....LOL it is sponge bob he is trying to say.

They are so cute and fun to watch grow. I have had my grandkids live with me since they were born. I was my daughters coach when she delivered and they have been in my home ever since. I do have to say , your grandkids somehow seem more special than your own,,,LOL I cannot figure it out still.
