Grandparents

My grandparents are in town because my parents recently had to return to Nashville. Through eating dinner with them I've realized how funny older people can be. I'm sitting on the couch with my grandpa right now and he can hardly hear a word anyone says. We are watching the UK game and every five seconds my grandma is yelling at him because he can't hear who scored the last basket. Then he continues to ask who over and over again because he can't hear her either. My grandma is a whole different story. She was just up here Thanksgiving with her hair a deep red and comes in today with it an auburn color. She pencils on her eyebrows because she doesn't like the way hers are shaped so she just plucks them all out. It's obvious she uses self tanning lotion but she'll never tell you that she actually does use it. Oh and I can't forget her dog. She has a gray toy poodle named Noel and she won't leave a room without that dog in her arms or following right behind her. She ate her whole dinner holding that dog right next to her chest. I told myself then and there that I will never become so obsessed with a dog that I won't eat a meal with out them practically sitting at the table with me. I love my grandparents though and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. They just have many funny mannerisms.

  1. Sounds like a wonderful family time. I'm the same way about dogs, but we have two at our feet throughout the meal as my sister's and dad's joined us for Thanksgiving.
