Father told a funny story to his son.
1. Before you get in the car to go somewhere, make sure you’re wearing a good pair of underwear with no holes in them. You never know when you might get in an accident and they have to cut your clothes off of you.
2. Don’t sleep in the nude. You never know when your house might catch fire in the middle of the night.
If you remember your grandmother’s wise but funny nuggets of advice, feel free to comment below.
Too cute! Love these! Grandma’s sayings weren’t near as cute as the way she just talked, in general. She used ol’ Ozark hillbilly talk and us girls would giggle. She’d say, “You girls are just a bunch of giggle boxes!” She did call us her little “pooters” and we’d laugh out loud. My Dad’s mom, Grandma Hale, told me when you reach 70 you can say whatever you want. 💛🤍😊
Thank you for this, Karla! I love your story about your grandmothers! It sounds like they were a hoot! The little pooters part made me LOL! 🤣😂🤣🤣
Tee hee! You’re welcome! She was a pastor’s wife and she had no idea of the words she’d make up. It was beyond precious! 💕😊😂
💖💐🌷🦋🕊
My grandmother thought Rolaids was a cure all now matter what was wrong she would give us a Rolaids and tell us it will made us feel better lol So now I joke with my sons and my husband about it lol
Lol! I like that! 😂🤣 Grandmothers leave some memories you can laugh about for the rest of your days!
I agree and she was always such a wonderful loving grandmother always hugging us I was blessed.
Me grandmothers were that way too! They always spoiled us with love and affection. They’re no longer with us now. My Uma died in 2005 and my Grandma died in 2013. They left some awesome memories! 💖💐🌹😊
It’s hard to not having them anymore but yes we will always have our memories <3
Yes it is. 🕊
when angry, check if you are hungry
My grandmother told me: 1. Pretty dishes don’t guarantee a good meal. 2. It is as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor one – pick the rich one. 3. Take every opportunity to shower with your husband – it’s fun! 4. You can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear. It took me a longtime to figure out #1 and 4… but they are very good and sound advice!
Love these little nuggets, Valerie! They’re not only tried and true, but they proved a small helping of humor too. 💖😁
My grandma told me to ” Drink water while sitting” and ” Whenever worship Goddess Durga , tie up Your hair ( never worship Goddess Durga in open hair) 🙂 I hope you Know about Goddess Durga. 😅
I’m afraid I don’t unfortunately. But I’m intrigued and will look it up. Thank you for your lovely comment. 😍
This post is awesome, hilarious, but wise and makes sense. Three cheers for Grandma. 😊😊
You’re most welcome. And thank you for your kindness, dear! 💖
Um, don’t know if this made the comments anywhere, but if you get in an accident bad enough they have to cut you out, you’re going to soil yourself entirely. My mom was a nurse… that you’re wearing underwear with holes in them will be the last thing on the mind of anyone caring for you. Be comfortable first.
You’re absolutely right- you won’t care. All you’ll care about is pain relief because Ive been in a bad car wreck and it was hell- two months in the hospital and at Christmas time to boot. But some if those nurses will surely talk about it later. It’s shameful but true.
I don’t quite know what you’re referring to in terms of nurses “talking about it later”. My mom told me general stories about things she experienced but the only story she went into detail about was the little boy who died of cancer that she cared for before he died, just before I was born. Everything else was generalities about real life vs the Hollywood version of what happens, or stories about what not to do – like don’t ride a lawnmower with the blades engaged because she has to care for kids whose father dropped them beneath the deck and it’s just not worth it… never names, never details. I don’t know of any nurses who would get into detail, mainly out of common decency, but also to protect their job. You have to be a special kind of person to care for others. Jerks get through, but rarely last in that profession.
I didn’t say ALL nurses. I said SOME nurses! I worked in the medical field, Jim. I knew some nurses who were bullies and YES! They talked about that among themselves. They also bullied the good nurses, Jim! This has nothing to do with your mother. It isn’t about her and I’m not painting all nurses with one brush. I’ve known some fine nurses but I’ve known others who were cliquey. There are rotten apples in every profession! Thank you!
Cherie, there are rotten people and bullies everywhere. None of them had anything to do with my comment. I was simply wondering why you took it there. It’s all good, though. I’ll leave it alone.
Wise grandmothers! My grandmother was against the idea of handing us umbrellas lest we lose it and bring bad luck upon us. So get wet rather than get unlucky was her mantra.
Wow! I knew a few that did that too. I knew another who made you take your shoes off at the door when she’d gotten through sweeping and I don’t blame her- it was like that back in those days. 😊🤗
“Child, keep your life straight. Or the years will make it lean like a tired, old barn.”
Good quote from your grandmother, David! I love it! <3 And she was right!
It is better to wear no under wears before accidents 🙂
Well, that could be one way to solve the problem! 😂🤣😂🤣 Going commando! 😂🤣
My grandmother told a 16 year old me to stop gaining weight because I had camel toe
Whoa! My heart goes out to you,Christine. I can image how humiliated you must’ve felt. 😮
Humiliation. That’s the word. I’ve tried to think of different words that fit with her treatment of me and others. You nailed it Cherie. Humiliation was her to a T.
Thank you!
Now I can process this and release. 🥰
You’re most welcome, Christine! Just remember that you have value, you matter, and you are worthy of love and friendship. <3
I’m so happy we met. You inspire me. I’m going to record a podcast episode on Humiliation. You don’t hear that word often but so many people feel it and deal with is constantly.
Aww! Thank you so much, Christine! You don’t know how much this means! <3 Humiliation is the worst, I've been there more times than I care to count!
Going to scan through your other posts to see what other childhood wounds I can trigger on a Sat night. LOL! Take care
😂 Feel free to. You have a great night!
LOL🤣🤣 SUPER POST FRIEND😊
Thank you so much, Lokesh! 😀
WELCOME😊
It’s a pleasure.
good one,grandmothers are amazing aren’t they
Yes they are! I miss both my grandmothers.
