My little granddaughter stayed overnight last night...I just took her home a little bit ago. It is always a struggle to get her packed up and ready to leave...all she says is....I don't want to go! I want to stay with you grandma! Well today I asked her....why do you like staying here all the time. She said....because you are so much fun! People at works say the same thing about me? I am pretty laid back and do enjoy a good laugh....So I must be fun! Anyway..are you fun to be around? Or are you the more serious type?

I think it depends on who I am around. I think I am more fun when I am around other fun people, but when I am around depressed people, I am not so much fun..:(

Fundamentally, I'm the fun type, and still can be. But life and hardship and things going wrong and regrets and melancholy and so on have made me a private and yes sometimes rather serious type. When I was young, I was a true good time guy and great fun to be around. People like my company for sure; but I spend a lot of time alone. I'm not the same person I was. But I wouldn't want to be young again; because I have a strong Christian faith which means so much to me.

I can be serious only when it is called for, but for the most part I think I am a riot to be around with. LOL..
I am very sociable and enjoy having fun and making sure others are comfortable and having a good time as well. I feel I can get just about anyone to open up and carry a conversation.

I think I'm the fun type.Mine don't want to go home either.I had the youngest last night.The oldest one wanted to spend some alone time with her mama and daddy.Taylor the youngest is one of the most affectionate kids I have ever seen.She loves to say I love and I missed you.And she will tell me that she's glad I'm her nanny.They will melt your heart.Breanna on the other is a bit more reserved with people.She's pretty open with me and her mama.She has to get to know you.Taylor told me yesterday that she told a little boy in her class that he was "hot".I said ok and what did he do?She said he took off running,because he was afraid she ws gonna kiss him.She's only 6 where do they get this stuff from.They grow up so fast.I want them to stay little forever.

Awww how sweet. Your little one loves to spend time with grandma and that's a nice compliment. In my situation I spend lots of time with our youngest granddaughter who is 2. I get on the floor, play, chase her or roll a ball in the house. I don't do any housework or cook when I am at our daughter's house so our little grandbaby gets my undivided attention. I really believe this is why our grandkids love to be with us. It's all about them and one on one is a good thing which can't always be done in their own environment. Ya know, mama is busy doing other chores.
I am not the serious type at all unless there is an emergency in the family. From what I've been told, I am a major blast. I can't always see it. I have a very close friend who loves to laugh at most everything I say. One day I asked what was so funny and her answer was, "you." I love life and will live each day to the fullest.

My husband is a couple of decades older than I am, therefore my "grandson" was born the year I turned 18. :) We're up in Canada, and he's down in NY, but we talk on the phone almost all the time. Kids seem to think hubby and I are pretty fun, if only we had more of them around! :)

Hi Jill, I would say in general I am fun to be around but if you ask my seven year old he would say I am boring and daddy is fun because daddy only sees him once a month and plays with him the whole time, me however with the 24/7 chores etc don't spend the fun time (his words) I do, but to him I guess not enough bless. I do enjoy a good laugh and my work collegues would say they enjoy a shift with me and it is a laugh a minute. I do have my more serious times and am not much fun at all if very tired. Glad you had fun with your granddaughter. Huggles. Ellie :D

I'm usually pretty serious. I have a sense of humor.. but I don't show it often. I guess it depends on the situation.

Hiya Jill,
Pretty sure that you are fun to be around as well. That´s why your Granddaughter likes to stay with you too. It must be a struggle for you to get her packed up and it would be for me as well. But I although I can be serious I can be a lot of fun too. I am surrounded by quite serious types here so a little fun for me is a big must have.
I have always loved to laugh and can see the funny side of most things too. I am forever imitating Comedians, famous People you name I am doing it. Am I good at that? Well not really but one likes to think that they are I suppose don´t they?

Hiya Jill,
Can imagine that your Granddaughter has been to your House many more times since I wrote the above. Is she still saying "I want to stay with you Grandma?". I will bet my bottom Dollar that she is.
I am more fun to be around with today I could not say the same for yesterday so much as when People are provoking you and trying to get you into a bad mood they almost succeed in doing it. However they did not make me too bad tempered I soon got over it and not too bad I am facing a lot of pressures lately and have not had
too much to smile about but I am still smiling even if it´s just a silly grin.
Take care now.xxx

No i am not serious type. I am very fun type person. And i think it's very good attitude. My friends miss me for this attitude they always say to me that when i am around then they have so fun and some time for this fun they forget there sorrow. Which is very good things i believe.
So people think i am fun to be around.

Personally I hope people enjoy being around me and talking with me, but I have never really asked. I know a lot of kids have always liked me so I must be Fun to them. I sometimes think due to Religious differences and the way I might actually come across, or since I am a Minority at work, it can be difficult but when you know people like you and would miss you if you were gone it makes it more worth while for sure.

I'm pretty laid back and I do take part if there's a bunch of people and have a good laugh. However, I'm never going to be one who starts the party ball rolling. I reckon I'm fairly fun to spend time with, but who knows? Other people might groan at the sight of me ....

I think I am a bit of both...depends on the people I am with....there are times when i can talk with ease, joke and have a great time, but there are others when I am so uncomfortable, can't think of a thing to say.
I am mostly a home-body though...like to putter around the house....not party and go out.

Jill-
I often think of myself as too serious, etc but I'm never described that way by others. I'm often told I am a delight to be around and they cannot wait to get together again. I do not yet have grandchildren (hoping that is a LONG way off lol), but I hope my grandkids will say the same thing. My little ones though often say I'm fun to play with, so hopefully that is something.

I am a talkative person, and a joker at that. Most of my friends say they miss me whenever i am absent because no one laughs out loud like me and no one makes a noise at the office.
So i guess, they do think i am fun to be around.

I think some people would. The only thing is that I take time to open up.
