No offense to grandpa.
GRANDMAS ARE SMART
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. Sometimes germs make little boys sick and not
feel good" 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. When you're finished
laughing, send this to a Grandma you know!!

I agree.
I had told our oldest Granddaughter "usually your kids don't think the Mom knows much but think the Gramma is brillant". Her reply was "well I don't". She was 23 or so. She is out spoken to me, I've always allowed her to be and she doesn't give praise easily. I think she doesn't believe all her words. She has since led me to believe she agrees with more things than she says. I love her no matter what she says.
