School Holidays provide many of us with opportunities to catch up with our grand-children(read: "Mind!").
So to get in the mood, here's some grand-parent flavoured choice bits....
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked.
"I don't know," she replied . "I can't read."
"I don't know," she replied . "I can't read."
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure."
"Look in your underwear," he advised. "Mine says I'm 4 to 6."

A six-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."

My young granddaughter called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. She asked me how old I was, and I told him 62.
She was quiet for a moment and then she asked. "Did you start at 1?"

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting rowdier and rowdier, her patience grew thin. Finally she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room putting them to bed with stern warnings.
As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old saying, with a trembling voice, "Who was that?"

My grandparents are funny - when they bend over you hear gas leaks, and then they blame the dog.
