“I was looking after my four year old and was handing her clothes to wear. She said, ‘I'm not putting them on.’ I said, ‘You have five minutes to pick something.’ She looked at me and said, ‘Don’t give me a hard time, Grandma!’” – Kaye Warren

“My dear little 15 month old granddaughter, who I mind two days a week, can say Mummy, Daddy, Nonno (Italian for Grandfather) and Nanna (her other Grandmother) but couldn't say ‘Grandma’, which I chose to be called. One day my daughter showed her photos and she named each one. When she got to my photo she thought for a minute, looked and pointed at me and said ‘That!’ However, I am thrilled to say that on a surprise visit to our house yesterday, her eyes lit up and she said ‘Mannma!’ I have finally made it.” – Jennifer Sabatino

“My granddaughter was only three, when, from the kitchen I heard her slam the front door. When I asked her what she was doing, she said, ‘There was a stupid man at the door. He said he was collecting crippled children, so I told him I was the only kid here, and I can walk, so we have none to give you!’ I so wanted to run down the street just to see the look on his face.” – Rae Vickers
