Being a grandparent is as much of a responsibility as being a parent, and maybe even more so. You have to remember all your grandchildren’s favorite foods, know how to regulate a large number of kids in one room, and be a comfort to your grandchildren when they are battling the world (even if it’s because mom and dad won’t let them get a tattoo before college). Of course, we as grandchildren love them with all our hearts in return. And as it usually happens when you love someone, we joke about them too.
Most grandma jokes are about how grandma will never let you leave her house without a substantial meal (or two), and if my grandma is any indication, that joke is just a life fact. I could never understand how she managed to have the exact food I was craving ready on the stove, and a couple of others “just in case.”
Grandpas, on the other hand, are all about adventures and storytelling. A fun grandpa will build a miniature railway with you or take you fishing during the day and read a book on Egyptian history with you in the evening. So if you ever went to the house of your grandparent saying that you weren’t hungry and didn’t want to have fun, I honestly have no idea how you planned to get away with that nonsense.
By the way, did you know that many countries celebrate a special holiday known as Grandparents’ Day? On that day, you can spend some extra time with your grandparents or, if they live too far away, send them a postcard. You will find a great selection of beautiful postcards with quotes about grandparents in most bookstores.
For this article, we collected a lot of grandparent quotes you can put on a handmade card or a T-shirt. We also put together heaps of jokes for grandparents to enjoy with their grandchildren.

"I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, “Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!”"

Two elderly grandparents from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says, “I’m 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?”
The other says, “I feel just like a newborn baby. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.”

A little boy gets $5 for his birthday. He runs with it to the candy store and asks for $5 worth of candy.
The man behind the counter asks, “Do you really think it’s wise to spend all your birthday money on candy?”
The little boy thinks about it for a moment and replies, “Well, my grandpa did live to be 94…”
“By eating candy everyday?” Asks the man, astounded.
“No,” replies the little boy, “by minding his own business.”
