old people :)

i love old people!
can you see why?
they're just hilarious!
they're young at heart but not in the skin.
i have very memoral, hilarious moments with my grandparents.

Story #1: i'm at my grandma's house on thanksgiving eve. she had started to make the pies. she grabbed her mixing bowl and ingrediants. one including eggs. she cracked one egg into the bowl, and tossed the shell into the sink. My grandpa had called her away to ask her a question. she went away, and no more than a minute later came back. she looked around her cooking space with a questionable look on her face. she finally said "where'd that egg go? she shell is in the sink but i didn't crack it." everyone around started bursting into laughter telling her "nannie, you already cracked it." She went on for about 5 minutes denying it until we showed her the egg in the bowl. she said "oh" and returned as if nothing happen. We still don't let her live that down till this day.

Story #2: every month my grandma mary throws a dinner to celebrate the birthday that month. her house isn't that big to fit all 20+ of us so its pretty crammed. She had to get through a tiny isle to get to the other side to serve the food, as she's walking down, with the tray above her head so she could fit, a little noise came out of her bum. she farted right in my sisters face. all she said was "Oh excuse me!" sounding shocked. haha

Story #3: This one is probably my favorite. We're at my great grandma's assited living center visiting her. my parents divorce had been final for about 2 months now and my mom thought she should probably tell her grandma about it. the first conversation was how my grandma was saying she keeps seeing these little kids around her apartment. apparently one was sitting right next to me as i was talking to her. creepy huh?and my mom finally said "Grandma, me and brett are getting a divorce. he had an affair." She was shocked and just kept shaking her head most of the night. we get home and started talking about the kids she was seeing. not really believing it and think she was hallucinating. a week later we got a call from my grandpa saying he had a story for us. His brother, steven, was visiting my great grandma and she started telling him about the kids and how my mom and dad were getting divorced and why. steven called my grandpa and said, "what's sauna's number? i need to call and apologize to her. mother is going crazy and saying she's seeing angels and spreading rumors that brett cheated on her. my grandpa started laughing and saying its true. so maybe there really are kid ghosts and she's not making it up?

Story #4: also from my great grandma again. we were on our weekly visit, talking to her, when she got dead serious and said "we have a problem. there's bastards in our family" me and my mom both look at each other trying our hardest not to laugh as my grandma went on about how one of my cousins has 2 kids out of wedlock with her boyfriend.

So to all you old folks out there, especially my grandparents, thanks for being great comedians!
