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 to him, “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.
