Very funny! I'm many years away from being a grandparent, but I relish the thought of the sweet revenge i'll inflict upon my kids via their children.

I thank you for this bump, between my mouth hanging open and laughter it makes for a wonderful day ;)

"Sheriff John Bunnell cracks us up, with his white hair and white teeth and unbelievably cliche-ridden narration."

Along the same rabbit trail, Bunnell's sidekick cracks me up..he's the one with dark curly hair who is interviewed sitting in an office, acts like an expert on everything from wild animals to how to get out of the way if a helicopter is going to land on you.

I can hardly wait to be a grandparent. This is when I get my revenge on my kids AND my parents. I also get to thank my grandfathers for their fine example.

Do not forget Aunts!!! My wife
had the nephews over last year,(9 & 4). What she had for dinner was, Ore-Ida blue "funky fries" Purple Ketchupt, Green Ketchup, chicken tenders, an B-Q sauce. When her sister came back to bring the sleeping bags for the kids, all she said was "OMG, What Is That!!"

BTW Uncle Joe teaches them to play poker and blackjack; They young one took 5 bucks off of me last week. Taught him too well!!! LOL

Grandparents and grandchildren have a common enemy:
The parents!

...clothes....packed exactly as I placed them...

... car was filled with empty beef jerky bags, Wendy's shake cups, M&Ms and Radio Shack wrappings....

Oh yes...been there, done that and bought the T-shirt--
On Mr. S_S29's very first solo camping trip with all three kids (3, 5 and 7y/o), I almost cried in shock when I realized that my children were sure to face the most horrific danger of their lives, (real or imagined), because he 'forgot' to pack the fully stocked first-aid kit which I had carefully put together, trying to anticipate any and ALL situations which might arise...

Haahaa...

My sister used to burp the entire alphabet along with various phrases which I recorded onto a cassette tape.

When our mom was in a "mood", we would play the tape back in s-l-o-w motion and watch her almost pee her pants laughing.

I'm gonna have my mother teach my kids to shoot. That way, when their DI asks "Who taught you to shoot like that?" The kids can reply "My grannie taught me".

As a grandfather, that was great!~

Great read.

I'm an aunt with no kids of my own but I do have 18 nieces and nephews, 2 great nephews, and a great niece.

One of the more fun things to do is teach them to drive when they're old enough, say about 12 depending on height. Then watch the horror on the parents faces when the kids tell them what they did on summer vacation.

I live near old unused railroad beds with no more rails or ties. Perfect for teaching driving in an old stick shift truck.

My dad is actually worse about getting my niece "toys that make noise" than I am....though I've been known to be a "bad influence" too. Like teaching her her new favorite word ("B.M.") and this unprompted pic, now several years old:

I like to corrupt other people's kids by teaching them how to use a Whoopee Cushion and stuff. (You must only inflate it about halfway for maximum rude sound effect...)

Eva loved the "farting Santa" I brought over there last Christmas and as I told my brother it could have been worse, it could have been a present for her. >:)
