What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give

forever. ~Author Unknown

three hours with them, I believe it, too. ~Gene Perret

longer than that, and you start to age quickly. ~Gene Perret

completely comfortable entrusting your baby to them for long periods, which
is why most grandparents flee to Florida. ~Dave Barry

sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children. ~Alex Haley

easily wrapped around the fingers of their grandchildren. ~Author Unknown

married to a grandfather. ~G. Norman Collie

The best thing about being a Grandparent is you can send the kids home when they get on your nerves!
