Aren't Grandparents loopy?
Went out for a meal with mine today and my Grandad was adamant that he wanted a Chicken salad. After about 10 minutes of reminding him that he did not like chicken or lettuce, he still ordered it. He then proceeded to tell us all how disgusting it was and how he is annoyed that we 'made' him eat it.
My Grandmother is just as bad. She has a tendency to put dirty laundry in the dishwasher and when the phone rings; picks up the remote control.
Really strange, since they are only occasionally like this. Most of the time they are fine.

Mr Smith: Hello Violet. How are you today ?
Violet: Hello Mr Smith, i'm ok ta. How's you ? How's your Enid doing with her bunions ? Tell her i've got that pattern for her when she wants.
Mr Smith Ok then, i'll toddle off now as you've got company.
(Mr smith walks away)
Violet: (to us) Thank god he's pi**ed off, i cant F***ing stand him
Except my grandma thinking that every other car is going to crash into ours, but that's not because of the age.
Do you find they have certain smells though? When i was working friday some old man came through the checkout and smelt just like my granddad did, it was nice if you kwim lol.
Oh i just remembered, my grandad used to shake the car (three wheeler) before driving off to shake the lumps out the petrol
i am lucky, and still have 3 left, my grandad D is hilarious, and just cracks the most unfunny jokes, but makes them sound top notch! he is 'apparently' as blind as a bat and as 'deaf' as a door knob, but yet tells you when you have put on weight, and shouts at you if you whisper during an everton match :rolleyes: bless him though, makes me chuckle!
my grandma makes up her own songs and tries to convince us that they are from back in the day, but in my 22 years, i have never heard the same song twice.
and my grandad R just bought a poodle...nuff said!
LOL
like the grandma from catherine tate
She makes sunday dinner for me and me mum every week and she looks after my dog for me sometimes when we're not in. bless her!
"hello, stephanie, i've tried ringing you and your dad had left a message saying "leave a message" so i am."
bless old people and technology!
not my idea of strange. its more like suicide.
