Grandmas Rules

Grandma’s Rules


There’s a reason why grandma tells you to grab a kitchen towel and dust off the table:

You don’t know when company com’n’ 
And when they plan on moving in

There’s a reason why grandma wants her girl to know how to cook, clean, sew and iron 

She doesn’t want her to go hungry nor act out of desperation

There’s a reason why grandma tells you about her struggle 

She sees a greater tomorrow 

There’s a reason why  grandma tells you to finish your vegetables 

Junk food is the devil 

There’s a reason why grandma tells you to read the Bible and to recite a verse before heading out the door

Dead or alive, God is by your side 


There’s a reason why grandma tells you to say ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’

She wants you to have some school‘ n and good home training 
Even if it takes some good home whipp’n
