Each pack contains questions for grandparents to ask their grandchildren and questions for children to ask their grandparents.

Can I dig up Mum's old hamster?
It was buried in the garden about 30 years ago!

My Grandson told his mum that I have to hold my eyes up otherwise they fall out when I was getting my eyebrows done.

Were flies invented before bees? They both fly so why aren't bees called flies?

GD asked, whenever she gets married, if I will be her "best man" at the wedding grin I assured her that I most definitely would be.

One day while I was in the car with my GD, she turned to me and asked "Nana, why is the sun always following us? Every time I look behind us, it's there too!" The way she said it, with this very serious and indignant look on her face, I had to push my lips together to keep myself from bursting out in hysterics grin

My son asked his auntie if the reason she wasn't married is because she doesn't want to kiss a man!

My grandson asked me not so long ago "nanna, why has daddy got boobies?"
This was actually right in front of daddy and daddy wasn't very impressed! lol
Love the innocence of children! xxx

My Daughter asked her Nana if there were still dinosaurs around when she was born :-) x

While we were on the bus, my eldest grandson asked me what that horrid smell was just after an unkempt woman had sat herself in front of us. Nearby passengers all turned and looked at me, keen to know what my response would be - I thought quickly and answered that we were passing the sewage works. Some of the other passengers laughed and looked away, but they all knew who the horrid smell was coming from.

Do you remember when you were very little, in the days when the dinosaurs were still around?

My GS came with me to a club meeting and asked me in a very loud voice "Which one is the Elephant?"

'Why are you wearing your school shoes?' (They were black leather brogues!)

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

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!"

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

Bobbysgirl19 Sun 21-Aug-16 17:18:49

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

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

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!

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'.

Why can't i see my eyes?? hahaha

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
