Snippet from an actual conversation between mah gramma and me during Easter dinner last weekend.
She actually laughed hard enough that she asked me to make a quick little cartoon of it for memory's sake.
I love my grammie. She totally gets me.

...But, on the other hand, it's grandma cooking, which is universally aknowledged as the greatest cooking in the galaxy. So you basically walk the tightrope between hoping that the lifetime of cooking experience will be apparent in the taste and quality of the food, but not before senility kicks in and it turns out they accidentally put some cyanide into the recipe. :P
Hah, thanks! :)
Yeah, she was trying to be funny... I mean, I think she wanted to say "Better eat this fast, or it'll get cold.", but the WAY she said it... with the murderous edge in her voice... it just got me thinking that there'd be horrible consequences if we didn't. :P

Most grandmothers are, I guess. I mean, you don't spend a whole lifetime raising weirdos like our parents and occasionally babysitting weirdos like us without either picking up a few quirks. (or, alternatively, snapping. Hey, mental instability is a quirky character trait, too, right?)

Not all older people are stuck in conservative ways of thinking - many of them have a great sense of humour but often hide it away because the younger members of the family just wouldn't get it. She obviously recognizes that you're a little different in that regard and knows that you can be good for a laugh as well.
Nice, anyway - that is one of those wonderful little real life memories to treasure, I reckon

Hah, true. Or, alternatively, because their peers would look at them oddly. My grandma hangs out with some crotchety, cantankerous old whiners, so her sense of humour is a little hard to make fly with them. Us, on the other hand, we can't help but laugh when we hear an 86 year old woman mutter out the word "Motherfucker".
Thanks. :) It is, and it will be treasured.

I hope I am embarrassing friends and family like that when I get old
Of all the jokes and funny stuff on the net, it is little real life excerpts like this that make me smile the most. Because there is something very inherently human about them that I can relate to. You are the coolest person and have some amazing people in your family.

Ha, now that's an awesome granny. Sort of reminds me of how one has to eat my mother's cookies, when they're out of her oven they're gooey, but after five minutes they're dry and hard as a brick, eat them fast before they become clay pigeons.
... And I realize how perverted that came out metaphorically, and it doesn't help matters to be listening to "Pussytown" at the same time, if I wasn't disturbed as is I may need therapy :D
But aside that, this was funny, dude, as usual with your stuff, your humour = pure awesome.

Thanks so much!! ^^
Though... I didn't assume any perversion in that metaphor until you went and pointed it out to me. Now it's ALL I CAN THINK OF WHEN I READ IT! ARRRGHHH!! ARRRRGH!!! AWARRGH!!
... mind you, none of that awkwardness stopped me from eating these bountiful cookies in my lap right now. Got dang it, I'm HUNGRY, and no amount of creepy discussion is going to curb that!
Go ahead... DO YOUR WORST. xD

Haha, it wasn't actually meant to be so metaphorically disgusting, it was just "I don't know why I'm thinking about my mothers dried up cookies... Wait... When you look at two cookies from the side... SHIT!".
But lol, this is what I'm talkin' about, your humour no matter what is pure win :D, I snorted like hell reading your reply :P

Grandma's don't always make the best food. My grandma on my dad's side is Polish and she makes this frightening borscht (sp?) concoction with beet juice, pickles, sausage. It's terrifying. She's always trying to fatten me up like she's going to shove chloroform in my face and stick me in the oven.
"Did you want some soup, dear?"
"No thanks, Grandma, I already had a sandwich."
"You sure you don't want some soup? It wouldn't be any trouble."
"Thanks. I'm fine, Grandma."
"Do you want me to make you some eggs?"
"No thanks, Grandma."
"I'm going to make you some eggs."
"Grandma, I'm fine!!"
