Learning stuff from an old-old Lady.

We had a fun Easter at my Grandma's House...there was much laughter and lots of "what did you say's?"

That part happens when your 65 yr old Uncle and 96 yr old Grandma still have not figured out how to work their hearing aids. (that they have been wearing for the same amount of time...perhaps 30 years?)

It can be quite frustrating...but while you are venting to your cousin/ husband/ daughter about how "they" can't hear anything, you realize that "they" also can't hear you venting/laughing.
I suppose them not hearing sometimes has it's advantages.

The first thing my Grandma demanded asked the 4 Great Granddaughters do is go outside and blow bubbles. Never mind the fact that one of the Great Granddaughters just turned 18 and is going to college in the fall....If grandma wants to see you blow bubbles...then you know what to do.

At one point a neighbor (that we don't know) came out and Grandma yelled over to the man: "go get Christopher and have him blow bubbles with the girls"....the neighbor nodded. Christopher never came out...I am still wondering if Christopher might be 30 yrs old.....or older.

They also searched for Easter eggs...that is always fun. I made it a bit harder this year by hiding some in the cactus. Hey, they are big now...they can handle it. ;0

There were many insults thrown around. All by my Grandma. Really, she can't possibly mean these things...can she?

The things I learned on Easter from my Grandma:

*My butt is apparently getting bigger...and from having too much S*X!!!!

Yes, she said this to ME...infrontofmychildren!

*"What is Granddaughter #3 wearing? That oufit is horrible...isn't it"?

*Lindsay is such a pretty girl. She is getting so tall....why doesn't she cut her hair short though. That would be cute. (she thinks all women should cut their hair short...like hers)

*I learned that my Grandma's niece got cancer from sitting on a pair of old rusty scissors...This happened way back when I was a little girl. Apparently the Niece cut her hip on the rusty scissors when they were left of her couch.....and got stomach cancer. Really. Really? Yes, she told me this. I was thinking this may have only caused her to need a tetanus shot???

That reminds me that years ago, my Grandma was convinced that anyone who contracted HIV could clean their blood by drinking bleach. really. Yeah, she is pretty much what you call OLD SCHOOL.

But she is my Old School-lady. School lady? that sounds funny.
