A Grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own. She likes other people's little girls and boys. A Grandfather is a man for Grandma. He goes for walks with boys and they talk about fishing and stuff like that.
Grandmothers don't have to do anything except to be there. They are so old 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 and caterpillars. They should never say "hurry up."
Usually, Grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums off.
Grandmothers don't have to be smart, only answer questions like "Why isn't God married?" and "Why do dogs chase cats?"
Grandmothers don't talk baby talk like mothers do, because it is hard to understand. When they read to us, they don't skip or mind if it is the same story over again.
Everyone should try to have a Grandmother, especially if they don't have a TV, because they are the only grown ups who have time.
I like to walk with Grandpa, His steps are short as mine.
He doesn’t say, Now hurry up! He always takes his time. Most people have to hurry,
They do not stop and see. I’m glad that God made
Grandpa, unrushed and young like me.
