Like any doting grandparent, I look forward to seeing my grandchildren. Their visits are the highlight of my week. I arrange everything in my life, from my work schedule to the placement of toys, to ensure our time together is fun. I want them to come back again, and again, and again.

That, I believe, is the role — nay, the duty — of a grandparent. To love (and please) unconditionally. Sometimes, though, their requests baffle me.
