RULES FOR GRAMMY’S HOUSEYes, I said rules. When I was teaching, we had to change the “rules” to “expectations” as though that was going to change the students’ behavior.  That’s just silly talk.   As  grandparents, Grampy and I are “old school,” so here are the rules (deal with it):

RULES FOR THE GRANDCHILDREN

• Remember your manners.

• Be respectful.

• Have fun.

RULES FOR THE PARENTS OF THE GRANDCHILDREN (your adult children)

• Don’t bring the kids over in their good clothes. We’re going to play, get dirty, and have fun. Remember, the clothes don’t make the child, the child makes the clothes. They look adorable in anything.

• Do bring extra clothes, we’ll need them.

• Don’t bring any food unless I ask you to.

• Don’t act like I don’t know what I’m doing. I raised you and did a damn good job, if I must say so myself (your children will rarely, if ever, argue that).

• If you’re going to be late picking them up, please let me know. They are welcome to stay  as long as you like, but I need to know so I can keep all the fun activities going.

RULES FOR GRAMPY AND ME

• Use lots of love and common sense and the rest will take care of itself.

• 

HAVE A GRAND DAY!
