You do not " get " them, but gram positive bacteria are gram positive because their cell wall is of sufficient thickness and properly constructed to hold the Gram stain. They have one thick wall of peptidoglycan that holds the stain against being washed away. Gram negative bacteria have two thinner walls which allow the stain to be washed away, basically.
