Here’s a writing prompt for you. It’s a simple fill-in-the-blank. You can use one word or several. Feel free to get as crazy, genre-appropriate, or as imaginative as you want. The point is to get the creative juices flowing. And it’s a good thing to dig deeper, so don’t stop at the first idea that hits you. Try coming up with at least five things.
“Grandmas are _____________________.”
I’ll give you one example to get you started:
“Grandmas are homegrown tomato sandwiches.”
I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!

Grandmas are sweeter than the sweets they bake on Sunday mornings
Angels waiting on wings
Home made blankets and pies
Memories that last
History lessons with blue hair
Missed most of all
old. Like, really old.
wise as owls.
younger in the photos on their walls.
always going to offer seconds of dessert.
– the sound of two knitting needles clicking together
– windchimes hanging over the doorway
– homemade blackberry cobbler
– soft and warm and fuzzy, with a cigarette hanging off her lip
– salty and sweet, allowed to curse you out because of their old age, forgetful enough to have the same conversation with you 5 times in one hour, but they always remember they love you
Grandmas are mixtures of wisdom and love
Angels on earth from heaven above
Wiser than owls but gentle as doves
Grandmas are mixtures of wisdom and love
Grandmas are……a lot smarter than your average bear.
the ones to go to when your parents say NO!
so much sweeter than the smooth chocolate icing covering that homemade, delicious lemon pie.
our guardian angels sent from up above.
known for our blessed Sunday dinner get togethers.
always considered to be the eighth wonder of the world <3
Grandmas are holdin their grand-daughters hand, teaching them the lay of the land, holding tight when the surf rushes in, sparkling eyes filled with years, calming down the young one’s fears, that’s what grandmas do.
Grandmas are ________
Sweet tea on a summer day.
Shelter in a storm.
Wind to a dreamers sail .
The anchor to a drifter .
The safe place to crazy.
