Granny's Advice

My grandmother died in 1975, but her birthday is coming up, and that

always causes me to reminisce. The long walks we used to take to the

store on Brunswick Street , the quarters she gave me for meaningless

jobs like pulling weeds or washing the sidewalk... Those gems were all

good, but the one I remember most, the jewel in the crown of

grandmotherly advice, occurred when I was only about 10.



We were sitting in a park having just finished collecting some 40 soda

bottles for the deposit money on a beautiful spring day. She told me

that one day, I would find a wonderful woman and start my own family.



"And remember always this thing," she said. "Be sure you marry a woman

with small hands."



"How come, Grandma?" I asked her. She answered in her soft voice..





"Makes your **** look bigger."

I would have loved your grandmother, sounds like she was special and gives great advice....acy

Sounds like my grandmother. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
Thanks

My Grandma and Grandpa were German immigrants. (indentured servant) She would speak to us kids with a stern hand and harsh words, but you could feel the love she had for us. She died in 87, after 16 strokes over a 7 year period. She had her wits the whole time and she would even get more explicit with her stories with time due to the strokes. She has left a permanent crack in my face from all the smiles she put there. Man I miss Grandma and Grandpa.
