Grandmothers and Their Boys

Two grandmothers and one great-grandmother.
These are lucky boys.

A grandmother knows how to love a child.
Their eyes see with their hearts.
And their arms surround you with love.





This is Seth; armless again.

King me! 
What do you mean?  I just got checkmate.

Even Superman enjoys a good book.

 

Now, if the Bears played football on ice,

that would be an exciting game.

Grampa Piggie's Mustang

by Gramma

 

 

When Grampa Piggie was 17, he bought his first car.  It was a 1967, green Mustang.  He loved his car.  He fixed all the rust spots with fiberglass, to make it look new.  Fiberglass will not rust.  After making new fenders on his car, he painted his green car blue.  His car had two doors and made him look cool. 

 

After he ran into a parking meter, he had to put a new bumper on his car.  It had snowed, and his feet had snow on them.  The snow made his foot slip on the brake, so he ran into the parking meter.  Then the bumper had a dent that looked like the parking meter.  It was time for a new bumper.

 



 

Gramma Mousie and Grampa Piggie lived in a town where there are lots of hills.  Grampa Piggie took Gramma Mousie for a ride in his car.  Soon he showed her how to drive his car.  She did well until she had to stop at the top of a hill.  She had to let the other cars pass her, so she would not roll into them.  A car on a hill may roll down a bit, before it goes up the hill.

 

Gramma Mousie did not run into any parking meters with it.

One day Grampa Piggie asked Gramma Mousie to the dance.  She said, "Yes," because she liked Grampa Piggie.  It had snowed and snowed that day.  Gramma Mousie's house was on one of the biggest hills in the town.  One side of the street had houses and the other side was a cliff.  At the dance, Gramma Mousie's dress ripped.  She told Grampa Piggie to take her home to fix it before they went to dinner.  Grampa Piggie had to go down the big hill in his Mustang.  The car slid down the hill and got stuck at the bottom just before the cliff.  As Grampa Piggie was getting his car out of the snow, Gramma Piggie ran inside to fix her dress.  When she was done, Grampa Piggie had pushed his car out of the snow and away from the cliff.  Off to dinner, they went.

 

At college, Grampa Piggie went to visit Gramma Mousie.  He took Gramma Mousie and her pals out to dinner.  Grampa Piggie fit five girls in his Mustang.  The girls were happy to go out to eat pizza.  He was happy to fit five girls into his Mustang.
