Once upon a time, there was a grandfather named George and a grandmother named Grace. They were the proud grandparents of a beautiful daughter named Lily. Lily was very close to her grandparents and loved spending time with them.

One day, George and Grace's daughter, Lily, came to visit with her husband. George was thrilled to see his daughter and son-in-law, but Grace was a little nervous. You see, Grace was a bit of a neat freak, and she was worried that her son-in-law might not be as tidy as she was.

As soon as Lily and her husband arrived, Grace started to fuss and tidy up the house. George, who was more laid back, just sat back and watched in amusement. Suddenly, Grace tripped over a rug and went flying across the room, landing right on top of her husband.

George burst out laughing, and soon everyone was laughing along with him. Even Grace couldn't help but giggle at herself. From that moment on, Grace was much more relaxed around her son-in-law, and she realized that it's okay to be a little messy sometimes.

The rest of the visit was filled with laughter, games, and lots of love. Lily and her husband had a wonderful time with their grandparents, and they all made many happy memories that they would treasure forever.

And that's the story of how one little mishap brought a family even closer together!
