Advice for Grandmas
JANUARY 31, 2014 | PAULA WRAY
Yesterday I asked a class of first-graders for advice on being a good grandmother since I will become one in June. They had plenty to say on the subject. So without further ado…
Grandma to-do’s:
- Be nice
- Give them money ($100 for Christmas)
- Take care of them
- Make breakfast
- Take them to the park
- Make blankets
- Sew clothes
- Watch kid movies
- Buy a crib
- Read stories
What to avoid:
- watching scary movies
- doing jumping jacks (my favorite)
- running
- yelling
- giving them the wrong candy
- throwing the baby onto the hard ground
- running with the baby
- watching news on television
- too many cats
- feeding people-food to the cat
- smoking cigarettes
Good grandmother names:
- Graham Cracker (I like that one)
- Grammer
- Granny
- Butterscotch
- Meemee /Mimi
- Grammie
- Gram
- Grandma
