OT When I'm old

When I Am Old I Will .......

When I'm an old lady, I'll live with my 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, Then I'll dump it all on my bed. (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!'

Bless All Moms and Grandmas Everywhere!

Neat poem! I have sent it to a niece who used to visit me quite a bit when she was little. One thing she used to do that drove me nuts was not hanging up her bath or shower towel in the bathroom and then putting on a robe or -- horrors! -- dash naked all of 4 feet across the hall to the safety of the bedroom and her clothes. Instead, she would bring the very wet towel into the guest room, drop it on the floor, and then get dressed. Not great but not horrible, either. THEN, though, she would pick up the towel, which was still wet to the point of dripping, carry it into MY bedroom, and put it in a heap on MY BED, knowing that I wouldn't want to miss it when I ran laundry. How very thoughtful! I told her I could hardly wait until she was grown up and I could visit her house and put a drippy bath towel on HER bed. Now that she is an adult with husband and two young children, she is almost expecting me to do that at her house, and mentions it every time I visit. . .

That is delightful. Wonderful. I can't forward it to anyone though. They would be afraid I was going to do it. Polly
