Children =  honest, sincere thoughts

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 and a grandmother is a lady!

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 shops and give us money.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. They then explain to us.

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

They don't say, "Hurry up." They walk so slow that we have to also walk slow like them.

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

They wear tiny small reading glasses and funny underwear too. 

They can take their teeth and gums out. It's like magic.

Grandparents don't have to be smart because they are already old. 

We have to respect them because they are our nanny.

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 and over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have a 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.''

Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things but i don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

p/s...managed to retrieve these from one of my saved files. These are answers given by some 6-8 year olds children in a survey done for the purpose of my Psychology Studies research a few years ago in the Land of the Roses…( had to withhold the resource/ respondents identity - Research Ethics)
