Grandmothers

Don't kids say the most unique things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


1. 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!' I will probably never putlipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye...

2. 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?'

3. 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?'

4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond and 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!'

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

6. 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.'

7. 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, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!'

8. 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, Billywhispered, 'It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us withflashlights.'

9. 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.'

10. 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'.'

11.. 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.'

12. 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.'

"Time Flies"

I have come to the realization that time flies (whether you are having fun or not, lol). I can't believe today is the 18th of January already.

The Alien has had his share of "bugs" these last few weeks. Told him to use "Raid" but he didn't listen!!! Fortunately, they have missed me so far. That is one advantage of having a plate full already, nothing else can fit on it easily.

We had a wonderful day today. Great services at Church then our small group met for potluck. I fixed a certain curry chicken dish (again) that one of the cubs made while here Xmas. It was definitely a big hit. I had already made it once for us last week. We have such a wonderful group that are truly Christians in heart and spirit. We (the group) are in the process of helping a young single Mom with a son in the hospital (they go to our church) then we are taking up a money collection for a family (that don't go to our Church) that lost their home in a fire and have no insurance.

Yesterday, we went to a discount place at Stringtown to get carpet for the travel trailer. The last tenant sort of did a number on it and the carpet was already older so it got pretty bad pretty fast. Then we went on to visit the C's. I treasure each time we get to visit as I simply don't think B will be with us much longer.

The Cub living with us has been hired by the Oklahoma Highway Department. He will start next Tuesday or Wednesday. Think he is pretty excited about it.

The NE cub is supposed to get out of the hospital next week. Keep him in your prayers. Gerbeans has been down with the flu bug but is doing better.

Will hush for now and hope that the clock's battery gets low so time won't go so fast!
