Grandparents Day
A Grandparents Day song with every grandchild in it
In the US, Grandparents Day falls on the first Sunday after Labor Day; in Italy it's October 2nd. Either way, it's a quiet holiday that many people only remember when a kid brings home a drawing from school. Yet grandparents earned it: they picked you up after class, let you have ice cream before dinner and covered for you with your parents. A song is a way to finally give their day the weight it deserves.
It can come from a grown-up grandchild who remembers summers at the lake, or from a parent on behalf of little ones, with their names woven into the lyrics. If your family has Italian roots, the lyrics can even be in a dialect like Neapolitan or Sicilian.

- A saying they always repeat, even better in their own language or dialect.
- The names of all the grandchildren, great-grandkids included: everyone will want to hear their name.
- A childhood memory: the day at the beach, the after-school snack, the secret cookie jar.
