By: Tenlee Graham
Nothing connects generations better than laughter—dive into these hilarious anecdotes involving playful, quirky, comical seniors!
Seniors play an invaluable role in families and society; one that cannot be replaced.
They are more than a beloved part of the family. Their unique perspective on life leads to fun-filled “clashes of generations” that make great dinner party stories and are often recollected at family events.
As George Bernard Shaw once said, “You don’t stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing.”
This book pays homage to this viewpoint by celebrating one of the best things seniors bring to our lives—laughter.
Within these pages, you will find 107 stories that seek to unite generations in one marvelous moment. And for even more fun, you can make it into a family activity where each family member takes their turn to read.
This book makes this easy with its wealth of short, hilarious stories that can be enjoyed in just minutes! What’s more, it’s in large print, which means it’s easy to read!

This was a fun light-hearted book to read. It easy to read a story a night before bed or while watching TV. There were many stories that made me chuckle and others that were heartwarming like The Lost Kitten That Found A Home. It was a real joy to read and helped turn my brain off for the night. Some of the stories made me think and miss my grandparents, renewed some memories I have of them and definitely made me smile. It was well written and easy to read.
