I Could be the Treat Giving Hero
When I became a grandmother
I realized that although I had loved my children
I had a greater capacity to love a grandchild whom I could send home
I did not have to discipline this one
I could be the treat-giver, the heroine, the champion
Without the aches and pains of requiring grandchildren to behave
for they would only be here a few hours, not all day
It was a game-changer for me.
No rules; just fun and frolic.
One of them wrote an essay about me.
She called me the AKG – awesome kid grandma
I could have never gotten away with this as a mother.
