when you get old!

[revjoybunny]

When I'm a little old lady, then I'll live with my children and bring them great joy.

To repay all I've had from each girl and boy I shall draw on the walls and scuff up the floor; run in and out without closing the door.

I'll hide frogs in the pantry, socks under my bed. And whenever they scold me, I'll hang my head.

I'll run and I'll romp, always fritter away ..... the time to be spent doing chores every day.

I'll pester my children when they are on the phone. As long as they're busy I won't leave them alone.

Hide candy in closets, rocks in a drawer ... and never pick up what I drop on the floor.

Dash off to the movies and not wash a dish. I'll plead for allowance whenever I wish.

I'll stuff up the plumbing and deluge the floor. As soon as they've mopped it, I'll flood it some more.

When they correct me, I'll lie down and cry, kicking and screaming, not a tear in my eye.

I'll take all their pencils and flashlights, and then .. when they buy new ones, I'll take them again.

I'll spill glasses of milk to complete every meal .... Eat my banana and just drop the peel.

Put toys on the table, spill jam on the floor. I'll break lots of dishes as though I were four.

What fun I shall have, what joy it will be to Live with my children....just the way that they lived with me!

Great Rev Joy!

They ARE adorable, aren't they? :)

[revjoybunny]

its something I found on the net I havent had practical experience of it except in my old job lol (I looked after patients with senile dementia) and some of the things they got up to would curl your hair

[inge]

Hair? What hair? :)

[revjoybunny]

Hair? What hair? :)

[sflewis]

Sounds like my stepmother - she always said she wanted to live long enough to become a burden to us.

[cloud9]

Thanks for the laugh:D
Sounds like a perfect description of my children , what lovley little creatures they are!!;)

[gide83]

Replace "children" with "cats" and you'll know how I am now an old lady LOL
;)

[ameastre]

Just as long as the cats don't draw naughty pictures on the wall with the crayons... ;)

[lajab5]

sounds like my kids, plus this needs to be added:

no one needs me when standing up, but when sitting down I get all kinds of requests, so If they sit I will want milk and cookies, or whatever comes to mind,

when paying the bills I will be in their face, bugging and pleading to go outside, till the check book is all messed and the bills went to the wrong place....(lol)

but most of all I will hug them and kiss them every ten minutes or so and tell them I'll miss them when I'm in school tomorrow at least 100 times before bedtime.....

[revjoybunny]

love the additions :)

[lajab5]

I've got more:........LOL

I will take forever to get dressed, even though I know they are in a hurry

I will come out of the tub when company comes to see who is here, no pjs on....(ugly picture....lol) (my kid is 7).....not saying kid is ugly picture........just picture of old fat 51 year old woman "me" coming out of tub........LOL

===========================================

Some oldies and a couple of new ones.

She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, 'But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!'

#####

My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, '62.' He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, 'Did you start at 1?'

#####

After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, 'Who was THAT?'

#####

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: 'We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods.' The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, 'I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!'

#####

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, 'Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?' I mentally polished my halo while I asked, 'No, how are we alike?'

'You're both old,' he replied.

#####

A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. 'What's it about?' he asked. 'I don't know,' she replied. 'I can't read.'

#####

I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, 'Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!'

#####

When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, 'It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.'

#####

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, 'Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today.' The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. 'That's interesting,' she said, 'how do you make babies?' 'It's simple,' replied the girl. 'You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.'

#####

Children's Logic: 'Give me a sentence about a public servant,' said a teacher. The small boy wrote: 'The fireman came down the ladder pregnant.' The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. 'Don't you know what pregnant means?' she asked. 'Sure,' said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child.'

#####

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.

'They use him to keep crowds back,' said one child.

'No,' said another, 'he's just for good luck.'

A third child brought the argument to a close.
'They use the dogs,' she said firmly, 'to find the fire hydrants...
