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.

Eldest GS when he was about 3, after listening to adults talking about the"good old days" and how we have advanced since our parents time, asks "Nanny where is your candle now?"☹️

When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up my young grandson said, "a grandma". Must have thought it looked like a fun job.

Nanny how old are you? because if you're not sure you can find out by looking on the label in the back of your knickers!

I told her by magic as she was only 5 years old at the time. She reponded her teacher told her the baby came out of her pyjamas, she told her teacher mummy dosnt were pyjamas she weres shorts, I was stumped at to what to explain to her. Too cleaver for me I told her to ask daddy. He really thanked me for that

Not a question but a statement. My grandsons were running ahead of me so I asked them to slow down as Grandma was getting old and couldn't keep up. The ypunger one replied "You aren't old Grandma, you just look it."

My Grandson told me that his Mummy keeps a bag of crisps on her dressing table incase she gets hungry while she puts her make-up on because it takes quite a while!

I pointed out to mine that his front tooth was growing crooked & he might need braces, he replied "does this mean I get glasses too?"

Getting in the car one day, I asked GS to close the door quietly as the lady next door worked at night and was asleep during the day. "Oh", he said "she's nocturnal then, like bats!" confused

Freya is 3 and she has been so interested in the Rio Olympics especially the synchronised swimming, she asked 'why do they have plasters on their noses' so I explained about nose clips but I don't think she was listening because she told her granddad 'we did watch the pretty princesses doing this in the water' (a quck display on the floor) 'and they all bumped their noses and their mommies put a plaster on it', She also wanted to know why the couldn't all have a medal 'cus they could swim really good'.

Knowing that I had been married before but a little confused about the personnel, my DGS aged 5 asked me if I and Uncle Grumps (current OH) had split in half!

My 5 year old grandson on a recent meal out asked if he could take home his left home pizza. I said yes that was fine. But then when he couldn't manage his pudding. He asked if he could take the left overs home. Normally I would have said yes but it was ice cream. x

My Gdaughter asked "Nan, why do you drive so fast for a Granny? I took it as a complement!

cathyov Sun 21-Aug-16 17:43:04

Why does grandad snore so loudly asked my grandson after staying with us - I particularly found it funny as he always denied he snored!

In a very long queue in a busy supermarket in the run up to Christmas, I was asked "Santa has got a willie hasn't he?" Everybody stopped to listen to my reply "Well, he is a man so I expect so!"

Compermo Sun 21-Aug-16 18:41:38

My granddaughter asked "Granny, why do you have baby wipes at your house when you haven't got a baby?"
