Congratulations. I'll tell you your the first grandparent joke - you won't laugh for 10 years - but here goes:
Q. Why do grandchildren and grandparents get along so well?
A. Common enemy.
I get it. Been there, and really quite enjoyed it. My house my rules. I'm a tough cookie on somethings, but ooohhhh a softie on a lot of things. We have 10, ages 4,6,8,9,10,10,10,11,12,21. Sleepovers are something else. But their birthday treat now is sleeping over by themselves after a movie and dinner out.
I love being grame.
I think the best is hearing my name cried out when I arrive somewhere. The first time was at church and they were already sitting in the front and one of them saw me and shouted ‘GramE’s here’. I've been mush ever since.
