Win a Ted Baker handbag and a copy of Bad Nana!

Our granddaughter aged two recently stayed overnight. I put her in the travel cot and sang to her, until she fell asleep.
Once I thought she was asleep, I ran my bath and stripped off. (Not a pretty sight ?) Just as I was about to get into the bath, I heard a noise, then a little voice,saying: "Why have you got no clothes on gran? What you doing?" ? Somehow she had managed to get out of the cot, wandered out of the bedroom and got into the bathroom. "How on earth did you get out? ", I said. "I'll show you gran. Put me in the cot." She proceeded to show me how to get out of the cot. I spent most of the night, sleeping with one eye open.?

Isabella asked me why my hair was grey, I said I needed to dye it. `Nanny don`t die` she said `I like your bag it has hearts on `

Nice to know your wanted for your handbag

Granddaughter (aged two and threequarters) decided to serve us afternoon tea. Using the voice of the Queen, she asked if we would like some 'tea' and of course we vigorously said how lovely a cup of tea would be.

She made the tea and solemnly asked in her queenly voice 'would you like some milllk' to which we responded 'yes, please', followed by 'would you like some 'shugaaar' and we again said yes please. There was then a significant pause before she added,,, 'and ice?'

We were all out for a meal in a restaurant, my daughter, her husband, two granddaughters 4 and 7yrs, my husband and myself. My daughter was joking around and being funny. We were all enjoying ourselves. My youngest granddaughter (4yrs) turned to me and said to me with a big sigh, “Nana, sort your daughter out”.

I went with my two Grandchildren to Hobbledown and they wanted to go on the 'High Ropes' course, so I went round with them incase the felt frightened. Needless to say they were fine, I was terrified especially when it came to the end and the only way down was on a zip wire. Well I screamed and screamed on the decent, they thought it was hilarious and at the same time embarrassing. Thinking that was the end of it, I couldn't believe it when my Granddaughter wrote about it in her school news. I would like to add that I am 70.

While in a restaurant one of my granddaughters heard the lady next to us coughing. She leant over, patted the woman’s back and said” Cough up Chicken” She was three at the time and that was what I always said to her if she coughed.

We'd gone out as a family for a lunchtime meal without anything to keep our granddaughter occupied who was 8 at the time.

I thought a game of noughts and crosses would pass the time and easy enough to play, I drew the first on a napkin and my granddaughter said that's a hashtag grandma #dumbfounded #neverfeltsoold

We got our little darling a toy cleaning trolley with a long handled broom and a long handled mop. She now delights in trying to brush our hair with the broom and clean up our mouths with the mop - delightful

One very hot day we had my oldest grandson round who was about 7 at the time. His grandad devised a brilliant game using water pistols. They had makeshift shields for protection and ‘safety zones’ for when you felt you had been drenched enough. The game got very frantic and much hilarity ensued. Both participants became completely soaked after a while. My next door neighbour had been watching for sometime and eventually he popped his head over the fence and told me ‘I can’t decide whether I should phone social services or join in!’

Just last night, I was putting my 6 year old GS to bed. He cuddled up in my lap for his bedside story and nodded off before the end. As I carefully manoeuvred him out of my arms and into his bed, he opened his eyes and said in a sleepy little voice I do love you, Granny, you've got Dunlopillo arms. Needless to say, I floated back downstairs thinking, You're not plump....You're cuddly! Made my day

After having highlights in my hair, my 5 year old granddaughter asked why my hair had gone white like Grandads!

We had bought our little grandaughter, Izzy, a doctor's kit for her birthday and I had added bandages and plasters for added fun. She loved it! One day I was looking after her and after a long and realistic game where I was the patient and she was the doctor - as always - I took her out to a garden centre where she enjoyed browsing and having a cake in the cafe as a treat. Throughout the visit, I was conscious of the fact that people seemed to be looking at me. As I think that one tends to become 'invisible' once reaching the age of 60+, I was flattered but rather surprised. It was not until we went back to the car that I noticed that my legs - I was wearing crops - were still swathed in bandages and plasters. Whoops!

For my title when my grandson was born i chose Gransie as my daughter called me mumsie.When he was at nursery he came home and said his new friend had not attended that day, so I asked oh do you know why? yes he said he had to go and see his poorly gransie in hospital.I then realised all grandparents would now become Gransies.

While tucking my grandson in bed one night he said "gran are you going to live a long time cos I love you, but when you die can I have your computer."

When my grandson was 2 and a half he stayed for a sleepover, when he got up in the morning he was in a hurry for me to get dressed so we could go out and play in the garden. He passed me my bra and said here are the shoes for your boobies nanny, now I know gravity is taking its toll but I didn't realise my boobs had gone that far south.

My older(adult) children live in next county,so when myself& my 2 teenage boys visit we ussualy stay in a hotel overnight.my middle grandaughter often comes along to share with me.on one occasion her teenage uncles were bickering so i told them (hoping it would stop their nonsence)if they didnt stop it they'd be staying at their elder brothers house for the night! My grandaughter put her head to one side to consider this, then said to me hopefully,"so-just me and you then?"- ???

LOL! Lots of these gave me a chuckle- and my own GC say lots of stuff that make me laugh- but the milliebear one had me hooting with laughter!

Today a starling flew into my kitchen. I found my granddaughter taking bread out of the breadbin to feed the bird. She said it was fed up of granddads seed and fat balls so it could have a nice treat. Thought she might have been making it a sandwich.

My 3 year old granddaughter kept asking where babies came from and my daughter told her 'You grew in mummy's tummy." There was silence, while she thought about this for a moment, then, with a pout and a frown, she exclaimed, "Mummy, did you EAT me?"

My funniest time with the grandchildren was when GS1 had his first ever mobile phone and was trying to produce a fart to record for his ring tone! All three children and I were rolling on the floor with laughter. In the end he gave up, having decided that knowing his habits there would be a lot of false alarms!

We used to make wine and my 5 year old grandson told his teacher that when I dropped him off at school I used to go home and drink Blue Nun. So when I went to pick him up she called me over and, with tongue in cheek asked if I had a drink problem! Out of the mouths of babes!!

Mum was having coffee with a friend at home, their 2 girls were playing but very quiet when Mum went to see what they were up to, the guests daughter only had one plate instead of the two she had started with, they had been so quiet while playing at being hairdressers, awkward, Grandchildren, you have to love them.

One funny moment we still laugh about was when MIL was about to leave, my 6 month old son decided to wee on her lap just as her taxi arrived.
My eldest daughter ran to the door and told the taxi driver
“ Please wait a minute Nana is turning her skirt around so you won’t think she has wet herself.”

Taking my grandchildren to a Xmas Grotto where you sat in a boat with Father Christmas at the helm, ( very well done), where the scenery moved giving the illusion you were moving, suddenly we stopped, Father Xmas had caught his foot in some machinery, after a chap helped him free his foot we continued. On leaving after the ride, I asked my Granddaughter did she enjoy it and she replied "Yes" but didn`t understand the chap when he asked Father Xmas "Are you alright FRED!"

I was midway eating a burger when 3yr old Granddaughter came into the room. ‘Nanny! Where did you get that from?’she said. I replied that I had made it myself. Little Miss stuck her nose in the air and said ‘Huh! I get mine from Burger Queen’
