What is a Grandmother?<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

A grandmother is a lady who has no children of her own.   <\/span>She likes other people’s.  <\/span>A grandfather is a man grandmother.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Grandmothers don’t have to do anything except be there.  <\/span>They are old, so they shouldn’t play hard or run.  <\/span>It is enough if they drive us to the market and have a lot of dimes ready.  <\/span>When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.  <\/span>They never say “hurry up.”  <\/span>Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.  <\/span>They wear glasses and funny underwear.  <\/span>They can take their teeth out.  <\/span>Grandmothers don’t have to be smart, they only have to answer questions like, “Why isn’t God married?” and “How come dogs chase cats?”  <\/span>When they read to us, they don’t skip lines or mind if we ask for the same story over again.<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don’t have a TV, because they are the only grown-ups who have time.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
