      GRANDPARENTS


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 replied. 'I can't read.'

#####

I didn't know if my granddaughter 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...
