Can A Grandma Be a Sorority Girl?

For those of you who read my blog this summer (when I became “Grandma” to a dog), this is an update…..my daughter has just told me that she and her husband are expecting their first child next July!!!! This makes me a “REAL” grandma or almost one.

My friends (who are already grandmas) have told me that “Grandmas” are all members of a very elite sorority (Gamma Gamma Got Gum) and have invited me to pledge. Since I am still a pledge, I do not have certain member privileges like bragging and showing pictures. I am however, expected to make sensitive and caring comments like “oh, what a cute face, has she always had that funny shaped head?” and “It’s okay, I am sure spit-up won’t stain my new outfit!”. My soon-to-be sorority sisters have informed me that my tactfulness in making comments about grandchildren does need some work. But, I am being considered for membership and that is what counts, right?.

    Grandkids are God’s reward for not killing your kids.

    You said it Uncle Dave. And you can always send them home with their parents.
