[quote=Anonymous]I didn't want to derail the other thread with my own story.  But whenever these threads about children spending time with grandparents come up, I stop and think of some wonderful times I had as a child sleeping over at relatives' houses.

I remember staying over my grandparents' house and the smallest things would just seem so wonderful.  They were the only people I knew at the time who had central AC, and she had the best blankets.  When we ate cereal, she would put my milk in a little pitcher and let me pour it myself.  She would let us make dough from flour and water.  We would make it into shapes, and then she would fry them in a pan so we could eat them.  I guess since they were retired, they had more time to clean up that mess than my parents ever did.  My grandfather would take us to a flea market and give us a dollar to spend.

My other grandmother didn't have central AC, but she let us eat whatever junk food we wanted, and some that I didn't even know existed.  Candy, junky cereal, white bread...

Anyone else have a childhood like this?[/quote]
