/* Yes, EVERYONE got 4 copies of GCFL yesterday, and it was all my fault! 
When I checked my email in the morning, I did not receive my funny. Being the lazy guy I am, instead of investigating the problem, I just figured the
send script didn't run, so I ran it again. Still I didn't get my funny after 10 minutes, so I run the send command manually to watch what happened. Of
course, there were no errors. Finally I check a few other things and give it one more try! Still no good.
If you know anything about computers, you should know that when all else fails, it's time to reboot the computer and hope things will fix
themselves... AND IT DID! But it worked so great that it remembered I wanted to send all four of those emails to the list, so it started sending like
crazy! Next thing I know I receive my GCFL! Woo hoo... then another, and another, and another! Oh well. I hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend.  */

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man grandmother.
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 store and have lots of quarters for us.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on "cracks."
They don't say, "Hurry up."
Usually grandmothers are fat, but not too fat to tie your shoes.
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
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 again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television, because they are the only grownups 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 they 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.''
Send this to other grandparents. It will make their day.
