Every Wednesday I'm fortunate enough to receive an email or a text from one of my grandpas regarding my previous articles.

And they definitely have their own opinions on what I choose to write about. 

But after all, they're my harshest critics and my number one fans at the same time. So I decided to write an article that they'll definitely enjoy more.

The 20 Reasons Why You Should Call Your Grandparents Once in a While:

1. You'll make their day.

2. There is nothing better than hearing the excitement in their voices when they hear from you.

3. They only want what's best for you.

4. They understand how annoying/difficult/crazy your parents can be.

5. You'll get all the family gossip.

6. You might even learn something new.

7. You'll remember just how lucky you are to have grandparents like them.

8. You can find out all the details regarding your favorite sports teams.

9. You might just get a special care package or box of homemade cookies out of it.

10. They might remind you of an embarrassing thing you did as a child (humbling). 

11. You're guaranteed to receive the best advice if needed. 

12. With each phone call, you're more likely to become the favorite grandchild. 

13. You'll probably smile. 

14. You can talk about yourself as much as you want and they'll be more than happy to listen.

15. Their non-realistic-angelic vision of you can always make you feel better about yourself. 

16. Cause you could probably use an excuse to break away from the library/Netflix episode/awkward walk to your house/whatever.

17. Believe it or not, they probably have a tally chart in their house regarding which grandkid calls them the most. 

18. More phone calls = more spoiling. 

19. Because one day, they might not be a phone call away and you shouldn't take advantage of that. 

20. JUST CALL THEM.
