People are funny. This is a thread about a particular group of people and their unique - often sweet, charming, and even adorable - ways of being funny.


No. You are making fun of your parents, grandparents, and
all elderly people and it is mean.

I'm going out on a limb here and making a wild guess that you turned at least a little red after that and/or had a little problem articulating.

My dad keeps asking how my son is doing "on the boat". He asks this because I told him my son had a job in Santa Cruz. All he heard was "cruise", and now, no matter what I say, nothing can convince him that my son is not on a boat somewhere.

When my grandmother (now deceased) was in her 80s, my dad overheard her chatting with 2 friends (also in their 80s) about this "poor old woman" they knew. He eventually realized that the old woman they were discussing was in her 60s!

Well, this wasn't my grandma but in high school I worked as a waitress in a country club. One Mother's Day I was seating a large party and the eldest woman said loudly, "It's so cold in here my nipples are standing out!" One of the younger women exclaimed, "Grandma!"

My thoughts exactly...


I'm the Blackberry poster. Several years ago I was watching Seinfeld and thought "OK! THIS is how I need to look at my parents. I get it now!" Picture all the scenes with George's and/or Jerry's parents. They are irritating (infuriating) to George and Jerry, but hilarious to us, the viewers. My mom irritated me no end until I realized I could just laugh about it. I have relaxed so much, and started accepting my parents for who they are since learning to laugh about the situations.

I was with my mom in the grocery store checkout line when she asked the clerk if she could return the stamps she bought last time. "I licked every single one and none of them would stick!" They were the "new" self-adhesive stamps. This was 20 years ago, she was only about 40. So she couldn't use her age as an excuse.

OMG, my grandmother was hilarious. After an emergency surgery resulting from an internal bleed caused by coumadin, the surgeon said, "Well, we'll have to tell your doctor not to give you that medicine anymore!" and my little white-haired sweet old lady of a grandma said, "Yeah, or I'll kick him in the nuts!" Feisty, she was.

PP with the mother who tried to escape the hospital. My parents have always instilled in us a good sense of humor, the ability to laugh at ourselves, the ability to see light in the darkest situations and the notion that we should not take life too seriously.

There have been many threads about the funny things our kids say and do. People understand that it is meant in love and adoration. To me, it is the same thing here.
