Try To Have A Grandmother (Written by third graders)

" A grandmother is a lady who has no little children of her own. She

likes other people's. A Grandfather is a man Grandmother. "

" Grandmothers don't have to do anything except be there. "

They are old so they shouldn't play hard or run. " " When they take us for

walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. "

" They never say, " Hurry Up. "

" Usually Grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. "

" They wear glasses and funny underwear. "

" Grandmothers don't have to be smart, only answer questions like, 'Why

isn't

God married? " and " How come dogs chase cats? "

" When they read to us, they don't skip or 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 have time. "
