In tribute to my Maw Maw who turns 84 tomorrow I decided to write a blog in her honor. She is the funniest person I know. I honestly believe as you get older you become more like a child. Older people don't care about what others think. They aren't concerned with upholding a status quo or meeting worldly standards. They say what they think and do what they want. Here are some famous Maw Maw quotes...
"you mean there is more than one cashier at the walmart?"
"ooooooooooooo"
" S... S... S... S..."
"It's just a bite."
"there isn't that much sugar?"
"NEAL!"
"that's not the way Neal does it."
"I'm in the bathroom."
"just roll me down the hall."
"well, she's gonna smother."
"don't loose her in that bag..."
"Wesley, Matt, Kevin, I mean Larry."
"turn that fan off."
"ain't you cold?"
"please. please. please."
"ugh hum"
... think of a good cough right now.. in the middle of supper....
"does my hair look okay in the back?"
"My plate's cold."
after maw maw fell out of her wheel chair and was stuck on the floor for 3 hours she says, "there was a nice breeze coming through the window. I don't know what I would have done if there wasn't that nice breeze."
"well.. i just got stuck on the toilet."
"enough is enough"
"come pull my britches up?"
"you know any news. me neither." 5 minutes later.. "you know anything I don't know? me neither."
"What. You talking about me?"
"I'm scared of q-tips."
You know, this same wise woman can say crazy things, yet is also one heck of a woman. She has endured the life of a farmers wife, the mother of 3, and the difficulties of life altering events. Shes a pillar. She is also one that will listen to the mouth of a frustrated granddaughter and not take offense to the jokes made about her. She is one heck of a role model and one heck of a grandmother.
So I think I have for sure forgot some words of wisdom from this wise lady. Feel free to add!
You forgot: Do something for me and a little sugar won't hurt. Everybody needs a little sugar.
ReplyDeleteShe always ask " Have you heard from Heather?"
If I say No she still ask well how is she doing.
So I have learned to say just fine and move on.
"turn the light on." maw maw I can see to read the paper from the light from the window. "turn the light on you're gonna go blind." Maw maw I'm fine thank you. "would you turn the light on so you can see." at this point i just turn on the light.
ReplyDeleteWhen maw maw got stuck on the toilet she said, "well i didn't want to push the button because I didn't want anybody comin' in here with my britches down." but maw maw thats why you have the life alert. for when you fall or their's emergencies. "would you have pushed the button if your britches were down?" well... "I'm glad I could look out the window for 3 hours though..."
2.) Talking to her sisterinlaw Jessie:
ReplyDeleteJessie says: I sure dont mind having a glass of wine everynow and then.
MawMaw says: What kind of wine, the drunk kind?
3.)Mawmaw asked me what my hair looked like down, so i took it down, then she laughed and said....You can put that up now!!!
4.)Sitting at Burger King I got a phone ...call, it was an old friend, Mawmaw thought it was Daniel so she started yelling loudly...HEY DANIEL!! We are at burger king,...Hey Daniel....This burger king is GOOOOD!!
5.) Driving around town, Mawmaw says, Turn Right up here....(I asked where we were going and she says.)....I have no clue, Im lost!!!
OK, Ill think of more later, shes great!
