Are you a Mom or a Dad I'm going
to explain blackmail You will know just what
I'm talking about Most of us have been
there I have no doubt
Blackmail...... That's an
ugly word """ I'M TELLIN' GRANDPA """ Is
that something you've heard?
Forty pounds of
"little person" Can hold you at
bay Because they already know Grandma or
Grandpa will let them have their
way
Where are those "parents" of not
so long ago When "WE" asked for
something the answer was always
"NO"
Just what is this
metamorphosis
that, all of a sudden, took place in time
What happened to those
parents that used to be mine?
Here is
the setting See if you agree If the answer
is "No" They cross those little arms with
those big eyes glaring back at me
The next sweet
little words from this Angel, that is
yours "If.... you .... don't .... let ....
me.........." They have now declared the
war of wars!
I'm tellin' ya....it's
blackmail in it's truest form I would
rather battle a lion or take on a tornado in the fiercest storm
Your hands are
tied They've got you licked Having a
Grandma or Grandpa wrapped around your little
finger Is really a neat trick
But if you have little
children I have a secret for you Sweet
revenge is in your future If they only
knew
Payback is
soooooo wonderful Do you want to know
how Just count the years 'Cause I'm
the Grandparent now
