What makes a good G-Pop?
1. Certainly, not mentioning TV shows, movies or songs that were around before your grandchildren were born.
2. And if you do mention one, change the subject quickly, or buy them some candy.
3. Don’t try to discipline. You had your crack at parenting. This new batch of kids is under the guidance of those who lived through your crack.
4. Here’s a great suggestion: don’t ever discuss pain, medication, doctor’s appointments or blood tests. It makes you much older than a liver spot or two.
5. Be a little familiar with your grandkids’ music and fads, especially if you know what they like.
6. Smell good.
7. Laugh, especially at yourself.
8. Here’s an important one: don’t hang around too much. You look desperate.
9. Perhaps the most important one of all–don’t ask them too often why they didn’t call you or write a letter.
10. And finally, lead by example. Children watch better than they hear.
