my grandma is staying with us, she leaves this week (:(), but i have some observations i need to note:
-she sleeps almost all day, which makes me a little sad because that's uncharacteristic of the grandmother in my memory, but she is ageing
-she's lost her ability to cook amazingly, which she admits
-she still talks to the tv when watching novellas, and will proceed to inform anyone in the room what's going on in the novella--even if you don't care/aren't paying attention
-the stuff she says is so much more ridiculous now than when i was little. or maybe i just appreciate it more now? examples:: she had a fifteen minute long conversation with herself (bc my sister and i were half listening) about how she liked gay people because they're 'especial'; she warned us to run if we ever saw someone throwing hot milk at us, 'cause that stuff burns you, she said; she made fun of an old lady (read: a lady her age) at the store, when the lady could hear what she was saying; every day as we're all watching a world cup game she complains about how she doesn't understand why "those people" like to throw themselves on the ground (she just doesn't get that they fall, etc)
she's hilarious, i love her.
on a side note: my aunt decided that she wanted to be called "abi" by her granddaugther when she found out she was gonna be a grandmother and i just thought that was odd. aren't the names little kids call their relatives kind of not under your control? at least, that's what i always thought.
