Grandadults

I was writing my status for facebook this morning and wanting to communicate that the girls were coming for a couple of days. I was going to call them my grandchildren or granddaughters but my fingers kind of halted and instead they typed grandadults. I don't know if anyone has ever coined that word before but I never heard it. It seemed so much more appropriate for the adult women I am expecting in a few minutes from now. I enjoyed so much the years when they were children and then teenagers and perhaps grandchildren would have been appropriate then, but I enjoy the women they have become as well. It is not the same. I certainly have less worry now then I had in those days, and I'm not as responsible for creating opportunities for entertainment. Now they are just comfortable to be with and still interesting people. They bring with them others to add to the mix and they are wonderful people too. Grandadults, I like it. Maybe it is a whole new concept or category of relationship. In case you didn't get it, I like it.
