It's even more fun when Grandma is a 35 year veteran of the same
school system, Teacher's Union President and current sitting member of
the Board of Ed. ;)

Yeah....grandma probably knows exactly who's the dead wood, and who's
alive
from the neck up. :-)


Of course, it works the other way around too - those poor grandkids
can't get away with anything. :)

Right! My son's girlfriend loves spending time with grandma each week.
Granny looks over all the past week's homework and makes her sit through
an
hour's worth of commentary and questions before the cookie jar is
unlocked.

Damn straight. They tow the line during after school hours around
here. I've been told by reliable sources that they consider their
after school time at my house "jail".

When was the last time you ever heard of a jail serving up double
chocolate brownies with vanilla ice cream when the homework was
completed, checked and officially approved? :)

Hmmm. They've got you trained, too, sounds like. Mine get frozen strawberry
smoothies, made only with frozen berries, ice cubes, a banana and some OJ.
Gets expensive, but it gets results.
