They always seem to do that in books, but the best my grandma could come up with was: STOP THAT NOW OR I'LL CUT OFF YOUR NOSE AND FEED IT TO THE CAT!
And she was the sanest one of the four...

edit: Did I say it wrong? Maybe I should have put "taught" in stead of "learned"

I don't think any of them actually learned a life lesson from me - but they may have taught me one or two!

I was going to correct you Zoe but since your first language isn't English, I decided against it. You speak English a lot better than some natives anyway.
As for your question. I only knew one grandparent and she died when I was ten. The only way my grandparents influenced my life was through my parents who did learn from them.

granny taught me how to make good tea. grandpa taught me how to do hundreds of little practical things like wire up a fence and plant and gathe crops. how to force big pills down the throat of a sick calf. and how to drive a tractor by the fourth grade. many, many other lessons. he taught be things about the opposite sex, which, i wish he had skipped.

One of my grandfathers taught me how to draw with markers in such a way as to make sure results were really neat.
Today, I teach design visualization.

One of my grandfathers taught me to keep a terrible secret, to feel guilty and ashamed and learn never to trust anyone!

Funny enough my mother used to say that to me and she was refering to my dick. So now I only have a 9" one which is a bit of a bummer.

That even if they become a drunk and stay out of your life for 10 years; you should go and visit them when they are dying in hospital. I regret that.

um...well...I guess the lesson that stays most in mind is: Don't die.
(they're all deceased)
