For crying out loud:

I know you love your grandchildren, which I think is truly wonderful. I'm so glad that you're the type of grandma that cares about every little thing they do and buys them things and all that jazz. But could you PLEASE keep the discussions of their excretory habits to a minimum? And while we're at it, talk to the kid like he's somewhat intelligent. I know he's 3, but it might just inspire him to higher levels of self-expression if you stop using 'kid voice.' Especially when I get a great idea for writing something on the subway stairs and have to wait for my freaking computer to take 10 years to load so I can start putting some of these ideas into a word document. Okay? Okay!

Thanks!

Love,
me.

This is what I have to listen to. She had a 10 minute conversation about the importance of toilet training with this kid while I'm trying to settle in. Poop talk before 9am is just too much.

That is just ridiculous. That is just TMI! I mean, it's good to love your grandkids, but...GEEZ!
