Tina Knowles-Lawson opened up about her role as a grandmother.

Tina Knowles-Lawson has mastered this whole grandparent thing.

At the 2017 LadyLike Foundation Annual Women of Excellence Awards Gala on Saturday, Beyoncé’s mom spoke to People about the special way she likes to spoil her grandkids.

“Being a grandmother is the second best job in the world!” she said, adding that being a mom is the best.

Knowles-Lawson has been a grandparent since 2004. Her daughter Solange has a 12-year-old son, Daniel Julez Smith Jr. Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is 5 years old, and, as you probably know unless you’ve been living under a rock, the singer is currently expecting twins.

Knowles-Lawson said she likes to spoil her grandkids. “That’s the fun part,” she said. “I buy them drum sets and noisy toys. I encourage them to ask for everything, so I’m getting my kids back.

The famous matriarch brings some extra skills to the grandparenting game.

In addition to being a clothing designer, she’s got quite an affinity for corny jokes.

Get ready, Carter twins!
