The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

4.My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is.
Very funny.
If you can't dance, don't blame the dance floor.

2. What a bargain grandchildren are! I give them my loose change, and they give me a million dollars' worth of pleasure.
What are we? Women - What do we want? We don't know - When do we want it? Now

1. Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own grown children - Ruth Goode
Quantity has a quality all of its own

8. My granddaughter came to spend a few weeks with me and I decided to teach her to sew. After I had gone through a lengthly explanation of how to thread the machine,she stepped back, put her hands on her hips and said in disbelief "you mean you can do all that but you can't play my Game Boy?

3. If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first. Lois Wyse

I fixed my mistake. How dare I think that you omitted a letter? I thought it was Sunday instead of one day.
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?
