I just received this in an email from my GRANDMA.
I was sorry to hear that your romance did not work out after all but somehow I think you need this time to get yourself settled. So glad that Utah didn’t turn out so bad after all. LOL
LOL your romance didn’t work out? Are you fucking kidding me? LOL?!!!
I read that as applying to the Utah statement, not the romance thing. I’m just impressed a grandma uses LOL. Way to keep up.
Oh holy Jesus…I’m hoping your Grandma is confused about the proper use of LOL. Ok, probably not.
Sra,
She’s freakishly up to date for a grandma! When I turned 25 she gave me ProActive as a birthday gift. Thanks grandma!
Sizzle,
Oh, I don’t think she’s confused about the proper use of LOL. One of her favorite sayings is “Everything will be OK or it won’t.” Which is true, and though things will be OK if you don’t receive the results you hoped for…it’s not so reassuring when you’re down in the dumps.
I love your grandma. “LOL, romance is nothing, after you’ve lived through the Depression.”
Makes me wonder what else in her mind is LOL……..
All my grandparents are long since dead, but one of my grandmothers wouldn’t let me watch Sesame Street because she said it had too many “negros” on the program. LOL!
It blows my mind that your grandma knows a bit of the web speak.
My grandma was more supportive of my failed romances when I was single.
After a breakup, she’d say, “If I ever see that guy walking down the street, I’ll spit on him.”
I think we need to have a world-wide lesson on LOL and the fact that it means “Laughing out Loud.” If you’re not literally laughing out loud, you should not use LOL. And if your grandma is laughing out loud at your relationship, then that is seriously a problem.
maybe she hooked up with your ex-boyfriend.
LOL.
Jessica,
She’d rather talk about how many medications she’s taking.
Zanny,
She has been known to consult a pendulum. I need to write about that.
The Grunt,
Yikes! That sounds like my great grandma…actually, that’s how both of my great grandmas were.
ubermilf,
That’d be nice.
Noelle,
Think we have a serious problem.
Crystal,
That is so gross…and hilarious!
My grandmother’s ghost always harasses me for not being married yet. Then she bakes me cookies.
Wow!! That’s so crazy, and I can imagine my grandmother saying something similar, as well. Don’t worry, that’s what grandparents are for!
Grandma is in SERIOUS need of sensitivity training! Grandma’s are supposed to stroke your hair and offer you tranquilizers when you’re upset, at least, that’s what mine always did.
Who needs enemies when we have grandmas! But I remember some of your stories about her, and hell, they kind of (very little) make me miss mine.
Next time she gets sassy like that, give her a package of depends and a vibrator
My grandma doesn’t own a computer and definitely doesn’t know what LOL means!
Did she maybe mean to be sarcastic in saying that Utah hasn’t turned out so bad? That is how I took it, not that she was poking fun at your love life.
