Grandparents are so wild. My son was crying that he wanted apple juice tonight and my mom was like “I’ll run to the store real quick! It’ll just take a second!”

6-year-old: Grandma?

Grandma: Yeah?

6: Can I live with you?

Grandma: I don't raise kids. I just spoil them.

I just remembered the time I stayed with my grandparents for a job interview and my grandpa asked if he could keep a copy of my resume because it made him proud and I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING.

My son just got back from helping his grandpa build bookshelves & proudly announced, “I made $14 - plus a $1 injury fee because Grandpa dropped a slab of wood and bruised my foot!”

Shoutout to my grandma who decided that the best Christmas gift for her gay grandson and his somehow even gayer husband was a gift card to Buffalo Wild Wings.

My mom didn't get in the pool with us growing up, but my children’s grandma is a full-blown mermaid complete with gills, shimmering scales and a tail who plays with them in the water all day.

My mom as a grandma: Have some more ice cream and then let's go buy you all the new toys you could ever want

My mom when she was raising me: If you need new socks you'll have to earn them with chore money, now finish your boiled celery strings

Grandparents are fun because they’ll chastise you for being too hard on your kid after they do something totally heinous, yet if you had done the same thing as a kid you would have lost Nintendo privileges for a week.

Grandma: I checked your book out from the library, but I wrinkled it a little bit before I returned it, so people would know it's popular.

I'm retiring from marketing. Grandma is taking over.

My mom recently told me about one Christmas when I was a toddler, where every time I opened a gift I would whimper “oh…it’s not a Barbie…” So later, when I was napping, she mumbled “I kinda wish we had gotten her a Barbie now…” and my grandma leapt up and yelled “I’LL DRIVE!”

Nine yr old bursts in the house from visiting Grandma, finishes up her cookie, takes a swig from her bottle of root beer, burps loudly and starts singing over and over, "Root beer is my life, ya! Root beer is my life!"

Clearly my mom secured the pecking order on that visit.

Have kids so that their grandparents can guilt you into taking a roadtrip through a snow storm to visit them for Christmas.

My 13yo said “Grandma would be proud of me for anything. I could be training to become a stripper and she’d be like, ‘Can’t wait to hear about your pole dancing lesson!’” And honestly, she’s not wrong.

Grandma's house is the closest my children get to feral.

They run around without shoes.
They eat only what they can find naturally occurring in candy bowls & snack cabinets.
They drink straight from the garage soda fridge.
They source various screens from doting relatives.

Yesterday I was at my grandma's doctor appointment with her and the physician started lecturing her on cutting back on sugar and she interrupted him and said "I am 90. I think I'm doing ok but thanks for the advice."
