Everybody should try to have a grandmother,
especially if you don't have television,
because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.
They know we should have snack-time before bedtime
and they say prayers with us every time,
and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
by an anonymous 8-year old

What a bargain grandchildren are!
I give them my loose change,
And they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure.
