As a young girl, I didn’t have too much time with my grandparents; my mother is the youngest of ten children. In retrospect, I realize I am lucky to have had any time with them at all. I was by no means a spoiled child, our household was very simple, but I did have one of those shirts that read “If mom says no, ask grandma.” And it was true. She would sneak me Coca Cola, Wrigley’s Doublemint gum, and dollar bills under my parents’ nose. Even though my grandparents passed away a long time ago, I befriended many grandparent-like people over the years. They are the best kind of people. They’re funny and honest, and they have a story for everything. With their humor and wisdom, I’m almost always able to let go of whatever worries I might have at hand. **Below, you’ll find some of the funniest and most heartwarming images of grandparents being themselves – and we wouldn’t have it any other way.**
