Grannys Funny Comments

[girlfriend44]

My granny (deceased now) used to hate women dressing in black and women who wore trousers?

What funny/strange comments did your granny used to make or still make?

@Ilikecheesycrackers Yes, that was 'a thing', egg white for nappy rash on baby's bottoms!

Mine used to be obsessed with my ripped jeans too 😂😂

@mamabear715 yeah. I tried it and don't recommend!

Both of the ones that stuck with me were to do with my wedding.....

Told me I couldn't have lilies because those are for funerals.

Told me my mums wedding veil (which was on my nans attic) wouldn't be any use to me because "you won't be wearing white" (said while side eying DH!)

A grandad one....... when my nan was whittering away you would often see him out the corner of your eye turning his hearing aid off

This makes me laugh every time I think of it

I blow dried my grans hair..
When it was done I asked if she would like a spritz of hairspray... she looked horrified and said

"Oh no! I'm going to Linda's house for tea and she's a vegetarian so I can't go too done up"
😂

@coconuthead

Outing but his initials were MM

I might know who that is! I think we (my family) used to watch him on tele - long before the umpteen TV freeview and subscription channels. 🌹

my great- gran died before I was born, but apparently she hated green shed wouldn't have it anywhere in house.
She was also terrified of Maoris - she'd grown up on a farm when the Maori Wars were raging, and they used to get war parties crossing their farm

I cant remember specific things my gran said but she lived til she was 98 and was amazing.This thread has made me think of her.

Always wear clean knickers in case you get hit by a bus

My grandmother used to say disparagingly "You'd laugh to see a pudd'n crawl!" if anyone laughed. I used to think "No I wouldn't - I'd be terrified!"

Where else are you meant to leave your pegs?

Loving this sweet, funny thread!

I've got a grandad one too; on seeing my then boyfriend's colourful trainers,he exclaimed "Oh my, those are very gay!"

And then added in some confusion "oh, you can't say that now, can you?"

He died years ago but I miss him.
