We're giving away a gorgeous activity hamper, including a pack of Coaching Cards for Grandparents and a £50 John Lewis voucher.

We all know the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren is a very special one. Barefoot Coaching Cards for Grandparents by Kim Morgan is a pack of cards containing questions to inspire fun and magical conversations. Each pack contains questions for grandparents to ask their grandchildren and questions for children to ask their grandparents.

With entertaining conversation-starters like "What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you?" and "What do you think the world will be like when you are as old as me?" - the cards will provide endless family fun.

For a chance to win a gorgeous activity hamper and a pack of Coaching Cards for Grandparents to share with your grandchild or grandchildren, as well as a £50 John Lewis voucher for you to spend, tell us the funniest question one of your grandchildren has ever asked you.

This competition ends midday on 22 August 2016.

The activity hamper includes: Grow My First Ever Veg Garden, Design your Own Kite kit, BKD Mini Baking Kit, Small Foot Garden bag and tools, Crayola Super Tips, Galt Squeeze ‘n Brush and The Usborne Book of Outdoors.

Barefoot Coaching Cards for Grandparents by Kim Morgan are available to buy from 1 August on Amazon or the Barefoot Coaching website.

One of the family's chickens died. Childminder asked GD (5) if it had gone to heaven.
GD: 'Oh no, Daddy wrapped it in a black bag and put it in the bin'.

Other GD once asked 'What did you do in the War, Granny?'
Me: I was a toddler!

In a restaurant DD told DGDs "we are in a grown up restaurant, so let's have a grown up conversation- what shall we talk about? "
DGD (7) - " car insurance? "

My Grandson said to me

'Grandma, why do you look after us so often?'

I replied

'Because your mum and dad have to go to work to earn money to buy lots of treats for you'

To which my Grandson replied:

'Why can't you and Grandad go to work instead and give us the money for our treats?'

My father in law recently died. On the days leading up to his death my youngest asked why I was spending so much time at the hospital. I tried to explain but couldnt help but laugh when she said "Have the angels got to wait for the repair man before they can pick Gramps up then"
