Grandma: Learning To Drive
Yeeha!! Grandmas' are just the greatest, they seem to have a unique mischievousness that kids instinctively recognise. Being one that loves both reading and writing about the humor in parenting and grand-parenting behaviours and, a Grandma myself, a deliciously devious one at that, I truly enjoyed the humor and catch-line in this article by Monica F. Anderson.

So if you like me are one of the 'boomers' has looking back ever made you believe you wouldn't have done it!!!!
Suddenly our lives were not our own. As 'parenthood team players' we faced challenging times in an often chaotic environment. On top of that we had to be prepared to willingly forgo our precious sleep patterns and be willing to work variable and 'extended shifts'. We understood fully the mean...
