Speeches

ENJOY!!!! :) **
 * This is my Speech we had to do for School.

Picture this, it is just been your13th birthday and you are really wanting to know what is in the colourful wrapping paper. You expect to find a dark Jersey or something like that. Instead, it is a Flowery pink, ankle length dress. There is only one possible person who could have given this to you. Your Grandparents.

Doesn’t it bug you when your grandparents like to see you looking smart? They tuck your shirt in not realising they are giving you a MAJOR wedgy!! Don’t you hate it when your Grandparents a when you see them lick their finger,Oh no, They are coming to clean the dirt off your face. Duck, hide, run away!

When you think about it, your grandparents are much different to your parents. Here are some reasons why. First of all Grandparents Knit. I mean have you ever seen you mum or dad knit something?? Second is that they are obsessed with watching the news. Every time they come over it’s always “what is the time, Remember the News is on at six.” There are lots of other things that grandparents do and your parents don’t but one of the most well known things is they love listening to Orchestral music such as ‘Mozart’ or ‘Beethoven”

Some Grandparents have some crazy stories about their Past. Recently my Grandma and Grandad went on a bus trip on “The Naked Bus”. They entered a draw to win $500 and their picture on the side of the bus if you did one of two things. The first was to swim with sting rays! The second was to walk over the top of the Auckland Harbour Bridge. My Grandma didn’t want to do any of those things so my 82 year old Grandad who had just had a stroke decided to do it instead. He walked over the top of the Auckland Harbour Bridge all by him self. Right now my Grandparents picture is on the side of that bus.

Did you ever notice that grandparents always argue over things that have happened in the past. “I remember our first car like the back of my hand. As yellow as the sun. Wasn’t it dear!” “No, No it was defiantly green!” “It was not, I remember it was a very pale yellow!” “No that was the dress you were wearing that was yellow, dear,” and so on.

One of the Best things about Grandparents is that they are always really generous. Whenever you ask them for something to eat, they give you half their cupboard. Or whenever you are staying with them they let you sleep in the biggest bed of the whole house. Another thing is that thy love doing baking for you, (usually something yummy!)

We may laugh at them sometimes, but I think the world does really need grandparents

Like all relatives we don’t chose them, and I think we should make the most of them while we can.
