People Exclusive: 'Fun Grandpa' Bernie Sanders: 5 Fun Things We Learned Hanging Out

'Fun Grandpa' Bernie Sanders: 5 Fun Things We Learned Hanging Out at the Candidate's House
http://www.people.com/article/bernie-sanders-fun-grandpa

First thing through the door, little Dylan Driscoll, 4, demands to know one thing from his grandfather, the presidential candidate Bernie Sanders: "Are we going to play Monster?"

At Grandpa Bernie's house in Burlington, Vermont, "Monster" is the latest thing – and, soon enough, the senator who wants to be president is growling and chasing after Dylan and his sister, Ella, 7, while they giggle and shriek.

There goes The Washington Post's portrait of Sanders as "Grumpy Grandpa."

"Anybody who knows him knows that isn't true," the senator's wife, Jane O'Meara Sanders tells PEOPLE in an at-home interview for this week's issue. "Sometimes he is grumpy with reporters when they're not covering the important issues, but not with us."
