Tell It Like It Is Grandma, Tell It Like It Is!

My 30th birthday was yesterday and I celebrated with a homecooked meal at my mom’s house last night. My grandmother was there and, without my knowledge, my mother had given her a Jim Beam and Coke right before I arrived. Here are some of the best quotes of the night:

“How many housewives shows do we need? Housewives? That’s a joke. It’s more like the hookers of Washington, DC.”

“These girls are so immodest. What happened to clothes? I can’t even look at this anymore.” – I was showing her pictures of an aquaintence of mine who is in the new Hooters calendar…

“Maybe you all ought to do a calendar?” – after seeing pictures of my friends and I dressed up for my birthday night on the town…she was serious and I wasn’t sure if I should be offended (RE: her Hooters girl comments) or take it as a compliment…

“Next time you go out, find a husband.” – that was what she said to me as I was literally walking out the door to go home…she’s sneaky, that Grandma of mine, because she knew by saying it to me at that moment I had no chance to respond (object)…

My uncle is coming to visit this weekend and I’m positive his presence will inspire many blog-worthy comments and actions from my grandma. Can’t wait to share!
