1. If there is anyone else in the house, I mean anyone, who is capable of changing a grandbaby's diaper, then that person MUST be the one to change the diaper. Grandpa will change the diaper if he is the ONLY one around who can do it.
2. Grandpas need lots of kisses from grandbabies in order to survive. If they don't get lots of them, they will wither away and die.
3. Grandpas don't have to bathe on Saturday, nor brush their teeth, nor shave, nor change their underwear, nor wear a belt, nor anything else, unless they want to.
4. It's best to stay out of Grandpa's business. No one should try to tell him his business. Only Grandpa know's what his business is.
5. Never tell Grandpa his shoes need polishing. He doesn't care.
6. Never tell Grandpa he's going to get a hot, grilled ham and cheese sandwich and then change your mind and fix him just a cold sandwich. That's kind of cruel.
7. Never fill up Grandpa's DVR storage space with boring women's movies from Lifetime Channel, major network primetime law or medical dramas, anything from TLC Channel, or the Food Channel unless you have received prior authorization. Pretty much anything from the History Channel is OK.
8. You must do your best not to criticize Grandpa's driving. He has been driving since before you were born. He know's what he is doing. There is a method to his madness.
9. Don't get mad at Grandpa if he is reluctant to try something new. He knows what he likes, and he has everything he needs. He prefers things to be predictable.
10. Don't let Nana be away from Grandpa too long. He may pretend he likes some alone time, but he can't be happy unless she is near him.
Now the world knows what I go through with you.
