Not my grandson, but a little boy in the family:

Grandpa: “Darrell, your legs are too short”
Darrell: “No they aren’t. They reach the ground!”

Driving my 5 yr old grand daughter to an event. She is trying so hard to learn to READ signs.

We were slugging thru traffic one day and she yells- Mimi- That sign said...Don't drive in pears!
I said..you mean the fruit hon? She said...I think so mimi...

so I look over- it says : Don't drive impaired!!

I laugh every time I go past that sign....

This is my favorite story from when my nephew was about five or six. Their family enjoyed going out for steaks. When they were in their home town they always took the left over meat & bones home in a "doggy bag" for their puppy. Once when they were visiting my parents (his grandparents) my nephew couldn't finish his meal and wanted to take it home so that his grandfather could enjoy his leftover steak. My nephew asked the waiter for a "grandpa bag". Everyone laughed and laughed.

Our first grandchild is expected in mid March 2020. Looking forward to stories like these!

My contribution for the moment is one from my son when he was little. (He’s the expectant father).

He was maybe 3, 3.5. A popular song on the radio was from one of the Mad Max movies, “We Don’t Need Another Hero”, by Tina Turner I believe.

My son would sing the lyrics as “We need a Peanut Butter Hero...”

Just reminded of something my then 3-year-old daughter (she's now in her mid 30's) said. We were staying at her grandparents' (my parents') house for an overnight visit. My dad was having "one of those days" when everything went wrong, he was all thumbs, everything he touched fell apart, and nothing was going right. He referred to it as having a "monkey on my back, a monkey on my back, I've got a MONKEY on my back!" DD looked at him confused and said, "I don't see a monkey, Pop Pop. Where is it?"

My granddaughter told me she wanted to be a breeder. “A what?” I said. “I want to breed cats and dogs,” she told me.

She also told me firmly, that she wants to have one child, only. She was very firm.

She is 7 years old.

My 4 yo grandson ran over excitedly and said "Gramma, I never knew before that you are Daddy's MOTHER! . . . But you're still MY Gramma.
