Grandparents are great, aren’t they?

Some of them send texts entirely in capital letters, while others forget when our birthday is and end up giving us two cards in one year. They express shock at how much we’ve grown, give us a tenner whenever we see them, and never fail to get straight to the point.

They carefully listen to our stories (while we are also fascinated by theirs). And they do everything with extreme sincerity and warmth.

Here are 13 tweets that show just why we love them so much.
