martymas Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 GRANDMOTHERSGrandmas are moms with lots of frosting. ~Author UnknownWhat a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure. ~Gene PerretGrandmothers are just "antique" little girls. ~Author UnknownPerfect love sometimes does not come until the first grandchild.~Welsh ProverbA grandmother is a babysitter who watches the kids instead of the television. ~Author UnknownNever have children, only grandchildren. ~Gore VidalBecoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric. ~Pam BrownGrandchildren don't stay young forever, which is good because Pop-pops have only so many horsey rides in them. ~Gene PerretWhen grandparents enter the door, discipline flies out the window.~Ogden NashGrandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. ~ Marcy DeMareeGrandmas never run out of hugs or cookies. ~Author unknownGrandmas hold our tiny hands for just a little while, but our hearts forever. ~Author UnknownIf I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first. ~Lois WyseMy grandkids believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. And after two or three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene PerretIf becoming a grandmother was only a matter of choice, I should advise every one of you straight away to become one. There is no fun for old people like it! ~Hannah Whithall SmithIt's such a grand thing to be a mother of a mother - that's why the world calls her grandmother. ~Author UnknownGrandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old. ~Mary H. WaldripYou do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. ~ProverbAn hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene PerretThe best baby-sitters, of course, are the baby's grandparents. You feel completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which is why most grandparents flee to Florida. ~Dave BarryI wish I had the energy that my grandchildren have - if only for self-defense. ~Gene PerretGrandmother-grandchild relationships are simple. Grandmas are short on criticism and long on love. ~Author UnknownNobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives oflittle children. ~Alex HaleyGrandmother - a wonderful mother with lots of practice. ~Author UnknownA grandparent is old on the outside but young on the inside. ~Author UnknownOne of the most powerful handclasps is that of a new grandbaby around the finger of a grandfather. ~Joy HargroveIt's amazing how grandparents seem so young once you become one. ~Author UnknownIf your baby is "beautiful and perfect, never cries or fusses, sleeps on schedule and burps on demand, an angel all the time," you're the grandma. ~Teresa BloomingdaleGrandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of theirgrandchildren. ~Author UnknownWhat is it about grandparents that is so lovely? I'd like to say that grandparents are God's gifts to children. And if they canbut see, hear and feel what these people have to give, they can mature at a fast rate. ~Bill CosbyGrandchildren don't make a man feel old; it's the knowledge that he's married to a grandmother. ~G.
