"Grandchildren are the only people who can get more out of you than the IRS."
"Two things I don't like about my granddaughter...when she won't take her afternoon nap, and when she won't let me take mine."
"Grandchildren don't stay young forever,which is good because Pa-Pas have only so many horsey rides in them."
"An hour with your grandchildren can make you feel young again. Anything longer than that, and you start to age quickly."
"My grandchildren believe I'm the oldest thing in the world. After 2-3 hours with them, I believe it, too."
"I don't intentionally spoil my grand-kids. It's just that correcting them often takes more energy than I have left."
"Grandparents are there to help the child get into mischief they haven't thought of yet."
"I like to do nice things for my grandchildren...like buy them those toys I've always wanted to play with."
"On the 7th day, God rested. His grandchildren must have been out of town."
"What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars worth of pleasure."

This about sums it all up. Been there done that with all six of them ranging from 22 years of age down to 5. Hell, I may as well toss the great grandson into the mix as well. That boy is something else at 4.
