Granddad or Grand Dad?

I’m convinced that I was a grand dad in that the fuckers were fed, housed, educated and assisted with achieving independence. Their mother threatened them with severe paternal repercussions if they didn’t conform - this was quietly laughed at.

In my grandad role I’m the archetypal benign oold codger - encouraging at sports, teaching younger ones a few racy phrases, the odd expletive and doling out monetary gratuities. It’s mildly satisfying when a 6 yo shouts out to the assembled " Mammy I’m off for a Tom Kite "
