I Secretly Enjoy Messing With My Grandkids

Anonymous Impish Fox #701 · General

Every time my grandkids come to visit, I swear I should be on the best prankster list. Just last week, when Lily was over, I replaced all her crayons with washable markers and told her they were new 'magic' ones for her drawings. She looked at me with those big eyes and went right ahead, making a mess that took hours to clean up. It's not like it’s mean or harmful; they're just colorful reminders of how playful I can still be. But then I worry: is this normal? Are grandmas supposed to get such joy out of a little chaos? Do other families think me a bit of a rascal behind their backs? Am I the only one who laughs at the idea of being 'just a grandma'? Let me know, do you find yourself doing similar things when kids are around?
