Grandma, the word brings to mind a front porch swing, quilting, homemade bread. On a dark night, the lights from her window are a welcome sight. She is always quick with a hug and one is always welcome at Grandma's house. It seems she has a never-ending well of smiles and love...that is until you graze the back bumper of her daughter's mini-van and then all heck breaks loose!
Ahh the unfortunate driver who happens to park just a tad too close and while pulling out of the space, gently touched Grandma's car, leaving a mark that would take a magnifying glass to see. The driver, realizing her folly went to settle things with Grandma. Unfortunately, Grandma has lost all sense of "grandmaness" when the driver's friend steps in to help. Grandma procees to "invite" driver's friend, (none to gently) to return to her car and informing said friend that she has been on the planet for 70 years, alot longer than her, as if that is some magical phrase that gives Grandma the right to be so dogon mean! The driver thought Grandma was going to pop a vessel, spit fire and spin her head completely around. Good thing there was a fireman close by. Meanwhile, while friend is fielding the verbal blows, the driver is writing down her own infromation and looking up spots the cross at Grandma's neck and the fireman logo on her shirt and wonders why Grandma is so unhappy.

As one who witnessed the grumpiness of grandma, I can only surmise that she is grumpy because she has had more years to get up on the wrong side of the bed, more years of obnoxious children handling her precious nick nacks and eating all the candy from her candy dish, more years to become senile, more years to look down on others from her high horse, and more years to develop her hot temper. She doesn't even deserve to be called grandma. Bitter old hag suits her perfectly.
NIC....THAT WAS TOO FUNNY, SHE WAS SO OPPOSITE OF "GRANDMA". SCARY. I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO SMACK ME!!
