I've been babysitting my one year old granddaughter. I had her make a Father's Day present. I bought a 6x8 canvas and had her colour on it. Then I glued a picture of her and daddy on it. Instead of a frame, I picked up a tiny paint easel stand for it.

Today she gave it to him. When he opened it, she got all excited. She grabbed it with one hand, and with the finger of her other hand she imitated colouring on it.

Every summer the grandkids get to spend a week with us. Older ones come alone...younger ones come together. Last week we had one of the grandsons. He is 12.

He was watching tv when an ad came on for the Dark Tower movie. He says "Grandma, will you take me to see that movie when it opens?" I look up and say "No."

He says, "Is it restricted? It looks like it's all about gun fights....soooooo cooooool" I told him I didn't know the rating.

He asked "well, why won't you take me? I thought Stephen King was your favourite author."

So, I took a deep breath....and began telling him why I do not wish to see this movie.

And he held up his hand....like a cop stopping traffic....and said "never mind. I'll ask dad because I do not want to watch this movie with YOU!"


I don't care which side you are on about this movie....that is funny.

Tor is almost 5. He loves to try to scare people, but we've told him that it really isn't nice to jump into someone's face and scare them.

His fix? He doesn't try to scare us anymore. Now when he jumps in your face, he explains, "I'm not going to scare you, I'm going to ASTONISH you!"

Okay, these are older kids, but it still cracks me up...

My twins are 19. They were born 45 minutes apart, and this really seems to matter to them sometimes.

I've caught the older one nagging the younger one, "Look at you just sitting here doing nothing. Why, when I was your age, I was loading the dishwasher!"

My 7 year-old niece asked me the other day why people on TV kiss like this (as she opened and closed her mouth as wide as she could). I told her to ask her parents or ask me again when she's married, or at least 27. She said - 27??! Try 1,007! I laughed and told her it was called french kissing. She replied - No it's not. It's called gross, open mouth kissing. I said I think it's pretty gross too! ;-D

Our friend and her four-year-old son were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant when a man covered in tattoos walked in. The boy turned to him and said, “Looks like somebody got into the markers.” – Kendall J. Barrowes

the above is something I read in the Canadian version of Reader's Digest

This popped up on my memories on Facebook. He was probably abou 10 at the time.

I told my grandson he looks like Justin Beiber (long hair). With a very confused look he said, "I look like just a beaver?"

I had my oldest son’s 2 kids overnight because he had to go for surgery. He’s a work from home dad. Grandson who just turned 5 was telling about daddy is going to the hospital and getting an operation. But he’ll still have all his teeth when he gets out in 3 days.

Good to know they don’t need to remove his teeth to
repair a hernia

I watch a little boy a couple days a week. I started out watching his brother from the time he was 9 weeks old, and he is now in kindergarten. So, it's just me and the little brother who I've watched since he was about 6 weeks old. He is 3 now.

Anyway, I would say he is potty trained, but still needs help with wrangling clothes and cleaning up. The other day, he tells me, "I have to go potty." So I tell him, "Let's go!" and we hurry in there. Now, usually he sits down even to pee pee, but this time he told me, "I'm going to stand up." I tell him, "go for it."

Needless to say, we sort of had this issue going on:

So, I'm telling him to try to keep it in the potty and also I'm telling him how proud I am of him and what a big boy he is.

He gets done and looks at me and says, "That was pretty cool, huh?"

I laughed and told him, "Yeah, that was really cool."

:laugh:
