When I’m an Old Lady and Live With My Kids!

When I’m an old lady, I’ll live with each kid,
And bring so much happiness…just as they did.
I want to pay back all the joy they’ve provided.
Returning each deed! Oh, they’ll be so excited!
(When I’m an old lady and live with my kids)

I’ll write on the wall with reds, whites and blues,
And I’ll bounce on the furniture…wearing my shoes.
I’ll drink from the carton and then leave it out.
I’ll stuff all the toilets and oh, how they’ll shout!
(When I’m an old lady and live with my kids)

When they’re on the phone and just out of reach,
I’ll get into things like sugar and bleach.
Oh, they’ll snap their fingers and then shake their head,
(When I’m an old lady and live with my kids)

When they cook dinner and call me to eat,
I’ll not eat my green beans or salad or meat,
I’ll gag on my okra, spill milk on the table,
And when they get angry….I’ll run…if I’m able!
(When I’m an old lady and live with my kids)

I’ll sit close to the TV, through the channels I’ll click,
I’ll cross both eyes just to see if they stick.
I’ll take off my socks and throw one away,
And play in the mud ’til the end of the day!
(When I’m an old lady and live with my kids)

And later in bed, I’ll lay back and sigh,
I’ll thank God in prayer and then close my eyes.
My kids will look down with a smile slowly creeping,
And say with a groan, ‘She’s so sweet when she’s sleeping!’

God Bless All Moms and Grandmas everywhere!

Life is Short, Live It Big

Thanks Jenean!

I had a good giggle when I read it, thinking of all the things my kids did when they were growing up and how I’ve always threatened to pay them back.

Sugar on the floor is a MUST!

I can hardly wait – LOL

Oh Julie! Thanks so much for that! I’ve been wondering what I’ll do with my extra time as I age, lol! I’ll revert to my childhood – that’s what I’ll do!

Oooos! Sorry about that Heather. I’m multi-tasking and forgot where I was! Note to self: no more bouncing on the furniture while visiting blogs!

Ha! Very funny post. It reminds me of an ancient Akan saying: “If your parents take care of you when your teeth are coming in…take care of them when their teeth are falling out.
