Meryl Streep has given us a delightful peek into her life as a grandma, and it’s both charming and relatable. At 76, she finds herself in the admirable role of “Mimi” to six grandchildren, all under the age of 10. In a recent appearance on *Jimmy Kimmel Live!*, she joked about channeling her iconic character, Miranda Priestly, emphasizing her preference for rules in her grandma duties. Who knew the queen of the silver screen had such a playful side!
It seems story time has taken quite the turn at Streep’s house as she lovingly reads to her grandkids, even adopting different voices for the characters. Just imagine the scene—Mimi, regaling tales with a flair that would impress even the most seasoned actors. And yet, the star humorously lamented the repetitive nature of reading B.J. Novak’s *The Book With No Pictures* nine times in a row! A testament to her dedication, it also allows a glimpse into how she brings joy to her family’s life.
Reflecting on her journey, Streep shared how vital these moments are, despite the distance she often travels between coasts. Balancing her busy career with family time, she treasures every second spent with her grandchildren, labeling the experience as“divine.”There’s a sense of bittersweet beauty in her acknowledgment of how fleeting childhood can be. It seems even Hollywood icons feel the time slipping away—just like every parent and grandparent out there!
