Well I have to ask myself "What is it about Grandmas house?" all the time. I travel along with my little girl to my mother's house just about every weekend. Although the drive can be tiring I believe that it is important for her to have a secure and close bond with my parents. Of course she gets away with things that I could not have even attempted to get away with and at just nineteen months she knows the difference in her environments. When we are at home she is very well behaved and I believe even more so than most children her age. When she enters the doors of grandma's house the littly tyrant in her arrives.
It is almost like she has been a prisoner on the lose and free for the first time. She runs wild,climbing on top of things, screaming and having what seems to be the time of her life. My mother of course ask,"What have you been doing to her up there holding her hostage?" Although it is funny in the back of my mind I wonder have I had to much of a hold on her at home where she is unable to be herself. So of course I losen the reigns a bit and she still acts as this will behaved little angel.
That is when I realize it must be something about grandma's house that brings out the fun in every child.

I know what you mean. My parents let the great-grandchildren get away with so much more than I or my own children could!
Good post!
