According to Grandma

Grandchildren are a blessing
That's what "they" always say.
"They" should have seen the way
Mine acted-up today!

"They should have seen this grandma -
A strict one (so she'd say) -
Just making up excuses
For why they act this way.

It's, oh, so very easy
To see the faults of others.
Our own are pure perfection
(According to grandmothers).

There is this big blind spot.
It's sort of like a curtain -
My grandchild can do no wrong
(This much I know for certain).
