Ted wishes his grandma were like other kids' grandmas. Instead, she wears jeans, she tells corny jokes, and she likes to play baseball. She also embarrasses him - all the time! "Don't get me wrong. I love my grandma. But I have to say she doesn't act like other grandmas at all!" Ted may not appreciate the way his grandmother is at first, but over the course of the story he learns a valuable lesson in acceptance and unconditional love.
