I remember when we were little kids
and would stay at grandma and grandpa's house all night.
We would get scolded when we talked in bed
until once again the room would grow quiet.
Just when we thought we were out of trouble,
one of us would think of something funny to say.
We could hear footsteps coming down the hall.
That meant grandpa was on his way.
Now grandma and grandpa could be quite stern,
but never could they be mean.
Mostly it was a lot of love that came
from them; that is what we had seen.
Finally, we would settle down for the night, and before we knew it,
it was the next day.
We weren't so anxious to get up
because we had talked the night away.
Grandma would yell, you kids get up,
Get out of bed it's time for you to eat.
We could already smell the biscuits,
bacon and eggs, we knew we were in for quite a treat.
We were right because when we saw the
table set with all the goodies galore,
it only made us want to stay at grandma
and grandpa's house more and more and more.
