Every Sunday morning Grandpa would take his 7-year old granddaughter
out for a drive in the car for some bonding time.
Just he and his granddaughter.
One particular Sunday however, he had a bad cold and really didn't
feel like being up at all.
Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take
their granddaughter out.
When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her
grandfather.
'Well, did you enjoy your ride with Grandma?' 'Oh yes Grandpa, the
girl replied, and do you know what?'
We didn't see a single dumb b@$t@rd or lousy sh1+ head anywhere we
went today!
Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This reminded me of my own grandpa vs grandma story from when I was 12 yrs old (a "few" years ago):
Where I'm from in AZ, there isn't much in the way of shopping choices. Most everybody drives 45 minutes into the next county for most errands and shopping. It's been this way for as long as I can remember.
My grandma was too ill to go, so my granddad took me with him to go grocery shopping, pick up prescriptions, etc. On the way home, he let me drive about 5 miles down the straight stretch. I knew better than to say anything to Grandma. Apparently, even after 51 years of marriage to this dear lady, my granddad did not know better. Later in the afternoon, he said, "Did you tell your grandma what you did today?". I said, "No, sir." And then he proceeded to tell grandma about letting me drive. She lit into him. I heard her say, "Calvin! What were you thinking? She could have wrecked, blah, blah, blah, blah." I can laugh about this today, but I wanted to shrink up and disappear back then.
My advice? Grandpa's - don't let your grandkids drive without at least a driver's permit. And if you - don't tell Grandma!

I didn't get to spend but a couple of days with my Grandpa's and Grandma's. My Parents were in their forty's when I was born. But I remember every hour of the visits in Texas and Oklahoma. Old Indians just barely getting around but they spent most of their time with me. Hot-chi-ta-ma-hot-cha, Um-ba-chum-bel-le. Pops would say that at the Breakfast Table. It goes sorta like this. (Hot Biscuits pass while their hot, Their really good for the tummy.)
When I was a kid my grandparents decided to go to the store. We got on the "new" freeway (I-17). My grandpa was going 45 mph and I thought my grandma was going to chew his ear off for driving so fast! I thought it was fun to go that fast, felt sorry for Grandpa

I was close to my maternal grandparents, especially my grandfather. I spent a good bit of time with them. When he did not want to listen to my grandmother, he would just turn off his hearing aids.
(And in my family, everyone learns to drive at age 12. It's like some sort of family tradition. )
