Grandmas

...
My friend Ray in Hoboken sent this.  Given the recent episodes of grandparent v. grandchildren, I think this little story is a good fit.  Maybe even a laughing fit.
...


I was out walking with my Grandson. He picked up something off of the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that.
 
"Why?" my Grandson asked.
 
"Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied.
 
At this point, my Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff? You are so smart."
 
I was thinking quickly and said, "All Grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma."
 
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.
 
"Oh....I get it!" he beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa".
 
"Exactly," I replied with a big smile on my face.

  8. Poor Grandpa - After all those years working to make a good life for his family - he still comes in second to his wife, mother, sister, aunt or the checker at Burger King.
