Grandma called Mom the other day to say she had some magazines for her.
Mom: “Great! I’ll get them from you the next time I’m over.”
Grandma: “Well, there are six of them and they’re really heavy.”
Mom, trying not to laugh: “That’s fine, Mom. I’ll be able to carry them alright.”
Grandma: “I don’t want you to hurt your back, so I’ll put them in a bag, but they’re still very heavy.”
Mom: “Well, I’ve got my car.”
I suggested Mom could use her Camry’s tow hitch and the problem would be solved.
The next time Mom was at Grandma’s, she picked up the (heavy, heavy) magazines.
Grandma: “Y’know, Jen might also enjoy these.”
Mom: “Oh, good idea! I’ll take them up to her this week.”
Grandma follows Mom to the door with one last assurance: “Now Mary, I’ve read through all the magazines and there’s nothing in there that Jennifer shouldn’t read.”
Sooo glad my reading material has been approved and/or censored by Grandma.
Hilare! :)
ReplyDeleteSo, no Maxim or Cosmo's?
like they're not worth reading then.
ReplyDeleteI have been craving some Grandma stories; thanks for indulging me! And we didn't even get to the naughty magazines I brought with me last week... I'd offer to send them to you but they're REALLY heavy. xo
