Hey Pandas, What's Your Best Grandparents' Advice? (Closed)

My grandfather "Travelling helps teach a boy how to become a man".

Funny story here - bear with me.
My grampa had Alzheimer's and was pretty well gone at a family reunion we had. He knew the people he saw on a regular basis, but was embarrassed he didn't recognize any family members. He'd pretend to read the newspaper all day, just to be left alone. It was sad.

Now. We're having a bbq outside when my grandma starts trying to fix me up with a girl from her church. Saying what a nice girl she is, so pretty and sweet, you'll love her and should take her out that night etc etc. As she's going on and on, I hear my gramps, who's sitting next me, "PSSST!" I look over, he lowers the paper, looks me dead in the eyes, says, "She is NOT a small girl Justin!" and goes back to reading his paper.
I was the only one who heard it and just busted up laughing. He was looking out for me!

This knowledge is not ours to keep, we need to pass it on to the next generation. - From my old pastor

Everytime we would say "hey!" as in protest or something, my grandfather would go "Hay is for horses, save it. You might marry a jackass" and I honestly think I will forever remember that

My grandparents always said "a house is impersonal. A home is meant to be lived in. So wear what you want, have your friends over, lay on the floor to watch TV if you like." Grandma will be 100 in a few months!

My Pop told me, "The older you get, the faster time flies. Enjoy it all. The good and the bad."

I was a teen when he told me this and thought he was crazy. The older I get, the more I realize he was right.

If you don't need it, love it, or use it, GET RID OF IT!!!:)

Relating to having children and being parents, "Hang together or the little b*****ds will hang you separately. "

I tell my grandchildren the same thing that I tell my children. No matter what you decide to do or what/who you decide to be...I will always love you.

Don´t stop purchase your dream, because people say "You can´t". It’s better to fail trying, than never used to try. Otherwise, at the end of your life, you always asked yourself why you never tried

"This too shall pass" My grandma would always tell me when I was having a hard time in life.

Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free? So, don't move in with your boyfriend. He won't respect you.
