My great-grandchildren like to taunt me and imitate me, in a good-naturedly way. We are friends. I know them intimately and they know me. I am teaching them how to be grandparents--for when the time comes. From board games to excursions to parks, museums, caves, lakes, plays--grandparents do it all. Nancy has many ideas for entertaining grandkids at home. Grandparenting really IS a way to atone for former parental idiocy.
