If my grandma
were a shape,
she would be
a circle because
she likes to
go round and
round.
If my grandma
were a weather condition,
she would be cloudy
because she moves
very slowly.
If my grandma
were a question,
she would ask,
"What do you
want to do now?"
because she
never runs out of
ideas.
If my grandma
were a punctuation mark,
she would be an exclamation point
because she is easily surprised.
If my grandma
were a spice,
she would be
red pepper because
she lives
where it is hot.
If my grandma
were a dessert,
she would be
a cake because
cake is sweet
If my grandma
were a place,
she would be
outer space because
she is very
open-minded.

spaced-out grandma, Sylvia M. Ventura. Dindo is a member of Ang
