When the grandparents come along on a trip, they're not the ones chasing anybody around or worrying about the schedule. They've done all that already. They just sort of park themselves somewhere and let the grandkids come to them - and the kids always do. Every time.
There's something about watching your own parent be a grandparent. Slower than you remember. More patient than they ever were with you, which is honestly a little annoying and also kind of nice.
To all the grandparents out there - happy belated Grandparents Day. You've earned the good chair.
