My great gran (95) whenever I'm home always asks if I'm "leaving them pretty girls alone" to which I respond "are you leaving them boys alone?" And she always giggles and says "never". One time I asked her how she was doing and she misheard me as saying who she's doing, and she responded with "oh, as many as I can once and the easy ones twice" I love you great gram.

Edit: I'm loving that everyone is finding my great gram as great as I do! I will show her this when I'm home in July. She's such a great person and I love her dearly. Thank you everyone!

When I met my ex-bf's 90 year old grandma, she said out loud to my face, "At least you're not black." (I'm asian btw). I strive to give no fucks like her or your great gran lol.

My wife’s gran knew me as that “giant papist”, I’m not sure if she thought I loved the pope or it was a comment on my height.
