A Kindred Spirit: Top Ten Ways to be a Cool Nana

Teresa Bell Kindred
NanaHood.com

It's been awhile since I've done a Top Ten list. I can't let David Letterman out do me, so here are my Top Ten Ways To Be A Cool Nana.....

Tattoo your grandchild's name on your arm. If you have several grandchildren use both arms. If this doesn't sound appealing use an ink pen for the tats and wash it off after your grandchildren visit.

Feed your grandchildren as much candy and as many soft drinks as they can hold, but make sure you only do this when they are not spending the night with you. Unless of course you like staying up all night watching Miley Cyrus reruns.

Do whatever they want to do when they want to do it and don't complain about the mess.

Give them the television remote and tell them they can watch anything they want (be sure and have the remote programed for only age appropriate channels before you give it to them).

If they are spending the week with you and don't want to take a bath or brush their teeth-don't make them.You fought that battle with your children. You shouldn't have to do it again.

Take them to an animal shelter and buy them a pet to take home to mom and dad.

Get concert tickets for their favorite rock group and tell them they can take a friend. Then buy yourself a good set of ear plugs and go with them.

For summertime entertainment- Have a food fight out on the deck. When you are done use the water hose to spray everyone off. Remind grandchildren not to try this at home. Parents are not nearly as cool as nana.

Use photo shop to make a picture of you with their favorite sports star. They'll think it's really cool that nana once dated Tom Brady.And the number one way to prove you are a cool nana....

Sell your car and replace it with a Moped Scooter. Use the money you make to take the whole family to Disney World for a week.
