My "Real" Grandma

After my last post, a few of you made it crystal clear to me that you had, sadly, lost your grandmas and, by me flaunting my living, breathing, super cool grandma flagrantly in your face, I might possibly have caused several of you to imbibe heavily. For that, I apologize. And I have more bad news for you lot, I’m afraid. My grandma responded to my last post and I’m going to share that email with you all now. So…SUCK IT!*

Kimberly,

You and the computer will never stop to amaze me about what you are both capable of.

Your blog about me was so neat, and that picture of me goes back a long ways. Next time put in a picture of the real me.

I believe that the verse is the first part of the song and the chorus, the more familiar, second part. I always stop and listen when Nat sings my favorite song, but to watch him sing it was so wonderful. It made me cry; a happy, nostalgic cry.

This was all so exciting, thanks, sweetie.

I love you, Grandma.

Isn’t she the best? Her ability to sandwich her one small criticism with two gushing compliments is almost effortless. I will have to remember that tactic for when I am a Grandma. Note to self: 2 compliments to 1 criticism. Mix well.

Don’t you just love how first, she assumes I’ll write another post about her, and then, she goes on to TELL me (not ask, mind you) to use a better picture of her next time (‘or else’ was definitely implied). Apparently, the Bossy Gene was successfully passed down to me.

By the way, ‘neat’ is the equivalent of ‘totally freakin’ awesome’ in Grandma-speak.

I LOVE YOU, GRANDMA!

*When I say ‘SUCK IT’, I really mean ‘I’m so sorry that your grandma has passed away.’
