Growing up, one of my favorite people in the world was my grandfather.
Although I didn't have an opportunity to meet my grandmothers, my grandpa and I definitely had a special connection. He seemed to be an endless source of funny stories, sometimes because he was the one making funny mistakes.
Like this grandma who outsmarted her nurses, my grandpa was a smart man, even though he was at times hilariously forgetful. We would laugh together about these brief memory lapses — after all, to err is human.
So when I read this funny story about a grandmother and her brand new great-granddaughter, I laughed at how much I could relate.
In this story, a woman offers to babysit for her great-granddaughter. But when her friend asks to hold the baby, she flat out refuses. And when I read the twist ending, I definitely laughed out loud. I think this is a story my grandfather would have laughed at just as hard as I did.
Can you relate to this grandmother? Let us know in the comments!
Grandma Sally's first great-grandchild was born, and after a few weeks, when the parents needed a break, she was given the job of watching her.
"Let me see the little cutie," begged her friend Gerty.
"Not yet," Sally responded.
When she again refused five minutes later, Gerty had had enough.
"What are you waiting for?" she fumed.
"I'm waiting for her to cry."
"Why is that?" questioned Gerty.
"Well…because I forgot where I put her!"
As with many things in life, this story definitely teaches us that we can laugh at our own mistakes.
