My grandma turned eighty last week. We had a small party at her house. She smiled the most when she saw the big cake with nineteen candles on it — one for each of her grandchildren! We all brought her gifts. My cousin gave her a new toilet bag for travel. My sister wrote a sweet dear letter and read it out loud. Then I read a spelling quiz I made just for fun — Grandma used to be a teacher, and she still loves that type of thing. Oh, and guess what? She still remembers the names of more than a thousand students! She says things were slow back then, but also easier in some ways. However, she doesn’t like talking about the war. She says it was a hard period and many people had to die. No one wants that again. We asked her what the secret to a happy life was. She said: “Love yourself, follow the rules, and always help others.” Then she laughed and said, “Yeah, and eat cake!”
