Thanksgiving memories 2009
The food was excellent. The football games were exciting for the most part. Spending time with my crazy family is always…interesting.
Especially my 93-year-old grandmother.
Me: “Hi Mimi! You look so pretty in purple!”
Mimi: “Thank you honey. You look good too. Have you lost weight?”
Me: “I have! Thanks for noticing!”
Mimi: “I thought so. You looked a little porky at the re-enactment a few months ago.”
Needless to say, I skipped the lemon icebox pie for dessert.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
HAHAHAHA oh lincee – the joys of older relatives are never-ending… you just say “thanks grandma!” and move on 🙂
Honesty is highly overrated.
Your Mimi sounds like my Grandma did. Question 1: “Kayren (she always pronounced it that way) have you lost weight honey?” Question 2: “Are you dating anyone Kayren?”
Every single solitary time I saw her. LOL!
Were you at dinner with MY family?!?! I swear those same words came out of MY 86 year-old, purple wearing Mimi’s mouth on Thursday… except I don’t think she said porky, she prefers chunky. But, if I were you, I’d have eaten that pie AND a scoop of blue bell!
That sounds like my grandma, she’s always quick to point out if someone has gotten a little “husky”
