Grandchildren Chips

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!"


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?"


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?"


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


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


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."


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 sagely, "Grandma, I think you
should try to figure out some of these yourself!"


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, Billy whispered,
"It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with
flashlights."


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."


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'."


Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant,"
said a teacher. One of the small boys 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."


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."
