Too damned right!
Speaking of Grandmas, we had a small informal dinner for Nanny last night and Good Gawd people, she's 88. if I had known, we'd have thrown her a slightly more auspicious dinne rparty. lol.

But Nanny is bloody good fun... I like to tease her a little and Nanny's the sort who can take it. Sometimes, she'll give you as good as you get so you'd better be prepared :)

Me : Nan! You're 88? Why didn't you tell us?
Nan : Tell you what, sweetheart? I'm old enough to want to go!
Me : What? Go? No talking like that now. Tsk tsk.
Nan : Us old people don't like being a burden.
Me : Nan, what burden? You need to be happy too!
Nan : That I am, child....
Me : Nan, I could have gotten a male stripper for you...
Nan : What? What am I going to do with him?
Me : erm.. you could oogle his muscles?
*pause*
Me : Nan, you gots to hold on to 90. I promise you a big party! with strippers!

Dad joins in, w're all laughing by now. It got a tad ribald from there but Nan actually looked amused. Like she's really entertaining it. Uh oh. lol

Nan is cool... too cool and WAY brillant before her time. She was the one who told me to always wear tampons at parties so if I got felt up and was on the rag, the man wouldn't know. Damn... I was 16 at the time. When you're that age, and your grandma tells you something like that, she becoms your heroine :))


Please don't go soon, Nan.
