Elderly people are the funniest sets of people to be around. They behave like children at a certain stage of their life.
At their oldest age, they are endowed with wisdom that young people do not have.
They stay to be counselors, especially to their grandchildren and other people around them.
They are beautiful beings, always, ready to offer advice, care, love, tenderness, and they minister smiles and experiences of their life whenever need to be.

I'm so fortunate to have them around me as a grandchild.
My grandfather used to be the best man I have ever seen. I can recall how he used to call me when he wanted to offer me a gift, can you imagine this teasing name he gave me,adiaha udo oooo, and I would respond, yes Papa with joy in my heart that joy will be will be there, like, giving me food, buying gifts from the market and other stuff?
The funniest part of him, was how he used to fart loudly in anywhere he finds himself. Even when he is eating, you would perceive the loudness of his farts, and we would make mockery of him. The painful thing is that, my grandpa is late.
I don't know for other older people, but for my encounter with my grandparents, they are fun to be with.
I will be specific with my maternal grandmother. She is special in everything she does. She is unique in her kind. I have lived with her until my Senior Secondary School, 2 and 3. I have known her to be a praying grandma. Even at her age, she is still prayerful and strong in the place of service. She is devoted to the service of God.
My grandma is very truthful to the core. I could recall the day I lied to her, she called me to other. The following day, I did the same thing, she flogged the nonsense out of me.
She is one, who loves standing in the gap to speak for someone who is wrong in one way or other. She is a kind who loves sharing her experiences with her grandchildren just for us to learn and walk on the right path.
My grandma, as we fondly called her, Nne She is caring especially to her grandchildren, there is no day she will not go to the market without buying clothes for all her grandchildren.
Being around my grandma has been a blessing to me and other grandchildren.
She taught me many lessons about life. She taught me how to give and how to forgive easily. Furthermore, she taught me manners, this particular one, not to fight with my siblings. Likewise, she taught me how to say Proverbs, so fun to be with old people.
The shocked part my grandma perform was a conversation she had with an Igbo seller, I'm talking about speaking English Language. I asked her, Mama, 'so you can still speak English fluently' she said, 'I'm not illiterate' wow.
My grandma is good to be with, enjoying her delicious delicacies is super. Common, you need to encounter an old woman if you haven't. Don't think they are wicked, not all are wicked.
They are full of vibes.
