Name your favorite thing to do that your grandparents exposed you to.

I didn't have a good relationship with my surviving grandparents.  As mentioned earlier, my paternal grandparents died long before I was born. My maternal grandparents let us know,even at an early age, that we were not their favorites.  I remember my grandfather as always being tired and my grandmother as unkempt.  My mother was the second born in her family and I was her second born so my grandparents would have only been in their early fifties when I remember them best.  They were both seriously overweight with gray hair.  Grandmother never fixed her hair or wore makeup.  The worst thing was she kept her teeth in the junk drawer of the kitchen cabinets.  Their house was always neat and clean, lawn mowed and no trash around.  The outbuildings were in good repair too.  They did expose me to my uncles and aunts.  I did enjoy being with them because they always treated us very well.  They were fun to be with and young enough to play with us.  One of my uncles had a bulldog who hated rats.  My uncle would say "Rats Beeb Rats" and the dog would run into the shed and make a lot of noise hunting the vermin.  He would come back out with cobwebs adorning his head, panting and looking generally proud of himself.  We thought it was hilarious because the dog was not much bigger than the vermin he was determined to destroy.  Another of Mom's brothers had a very unusual view of the world and would philosophize on any topic you mentioned usually to peals of laughter.  Mom's only living sister was very sweet and mothered my sister and I when we would come to visit.  She was only a few years older than us but, to our eyes, much more grownup and mature.  She had a room of her own and lots of pretty clothes.  We were very disappointed when she married.  We couldn't understand why she would give up her life of luxury to live with a boy.  We were young.  We figured that one out in another eight years.  Sure hope there are no more grandparent topics.
