Kids explain GRANDPARENTS, WHO ARE THEY?


- Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's.

- A grandfather is a man grandmother.

- Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the store and have lots of quarters for us.

- When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

- They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on "cracks."

- They don't say, "Hurry up."

- Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.

- They wear glasses and funny underwear.

- They can take their teeth and gums out.

- Grandparents don't have to be smart.

- They have to answer questions like "why isn't God married?" and "How come dogs chase cats?"

- When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

- Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television, because they are the only grown ups who like to spend time with us.

- They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and they say prayers with us every time, and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

- A 6 year old was asked where his grandma lived.
''Oh,'' he said, ''She lives at the airport, and when we want her we just go get her. Then when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

Taking people for granted

Taking people for granted. Is it something completely inevitable? Are we that blind and ignorant to overlook certain things people do out of care and concern? What we see as tiny twiny unimportant and "ah-I-cant-be-bothered" things may matter a LOT for some people. This is not about making mountains out of mole hills. Its respecting and appreciating gestures. Genuine at heart they may be but that does not mean they wouldn't have any expectations. For, who lives without expectations? Though we all know pretty well that expectation, when not met leaves you with pain, we cant run away from it. Addiction it has become. We are no saints!

Why am I grouching and whining about all this now? Last week many things happened and one of it made me feel as though I was taken for granted. As much as I felt angry and betrayed, it made me think. I have to accept the bitter truth of how much I have been neglecting this one other person which leaves me feeling ashamed, heartless and tainted with guilt. I which I had a backspace key with me so that I can go back, erase off and rewrite a few parts of my life, especially the ones where I should have treated you better. I am sorry.. Extremely.

We care about people who don't care, and don't care about people who care! How true!
