This post is dedicated to the funny things Grandparents, or any loved ones say. This post is in honor of my Grandma (we'll call her Mrs. Hazel) who Martha and I used to eat lunch with every Friday for years. Now that she is gone we still have the huge desire to call her up and tell her funny things that go on in the family...such as at reunions. Grandma used to say stuff that would crack me and Martha up and we miss her very much. So, post the funny things you've heard your your loved ones say (only nice quotes-remember, we love these people).So, to kick things off:
Mrs. Hazel: "I think he's a skritsofrenik."
-And you have to pronounce it just like that.

I love it! Here's some...
Louise: You need to wrap your head up or you'll catch "new-morn-ya"!
Dorothy: We've got "blue blood," we're related to Pocahontas.
I don't know why I always thought this was funny- my grandma always wanted to be royalty!
Oh I miss Grandma!! Give me a day or so and I'll think of a good one.
I like how Bush always says "nukular." Oh, and my Dad always adds a "t" to the word across: "acrosst."
Grandmother when I'm trying to help her do something but end up hurting her (i.e. like curling her hair and frying her skin at the same time by accident): "Oooooh, Ooooooh!" that sounds kind of like an owl, and you have to purse your lips together like an, "o."
...and for the record, I ate my share of Bojangles with her, too. Which makes me think of another one: "I think I'll have the cream potatoes this time." and then changes her mind and gets fries like every other time.
I also remember the time I was trying to ride a bike beside her while she was walking to our house, and couldn't balance going that slow...so I ended up falling over onto her. By the way Rach, I was on your snazzy blue bike.
I could write about Grandmother memories forever!
Oh Miranda your memories took me back!!
While trying to think of something to post,last night Rachael supplied me with one.. " His head is so big it looks like he has "HYDROSYPHILIS" !!
And a classic Jimmy ism is " I'm going to Walgardens, anyone need anything?".
Another Louise-ism that came to mind: "That's just Weer-id!" She never could pronounce "weird" right!
(Bless her heart!)
Grandam always says 'Lands-sake!', and 'my-lands' when she is suprised... I miss the 'good old days'
Mrs. Hazel once said, "I will not listen to things turned up too loud. I am not going to ruin my hearing."
-At least...I think that's what she said. It was hard to hear her over the t.v.
Sounds like Mrs. Hazel and Louise were on the same page:
Louise: "Don't sit so close to the tv! You'll ruin your eyes!"
My grandma used to insist that children breathed through their belly buttons til they were 2y/o!
and Mrs H says a whole bunch, one of her most recent to me "If it's not one, it's two!" after her glasses broke again.(thanks hannah for helping out)
My Grandpa(he is still alive and often still says it):"Holy Macrole(sp?)"and "Son of a Gun"
oh and he was also talking about a Marine one time and the Marine had a Large tattoo of horses across his chest and he said"that's a cute tattoo"
lol, that's funny Elizabeth. I'm sure the marine was glad to hear that his tough self was "cute."
Mrs. Hazel would always say that if you drank milk and ate fish at the same time then it would kill you!
Speaking of fish...Louise always enjoyed "sal-mun"...
Mrs. Hazel love going to the "Mountings".
Louise enjoyed her trip to "Ha-war-ya"...she had a case of pineapples shipped home.
Gramdma also used to talk about alunimum (say it like it is written!) foil. This is the one that I can repeat online!
Aunt Claudia
Ha. She used to wash, fold and store aluminum foil after she used it. Ahh, the good ole days.
