My Grandma the Comedian: An Anecdote about my grandma

My Grandma always does funny things, but she isn’t very aware of them. Two of these stories I will share with you. My Grandma is obsessed with Healthy Choice, all of their foods and everything. She loved their ice cream especially. I say loved because they don’t make them anymore. Anyway, she was at the grocery shopping, and she finds out they are discontinuing them, so like any normal person would do (well not really normal), she grabs like 20 gallons of ice cream. Every favor you could think of she had in her cart. Couldn’t you just imagine an 81 year old woman buying 20 gallons of ice cream? I laughed so hard, and I swear that when ever we came over for like a year, she always had ice cream.

Another story I will share, is about my grandma, a gallon of milk, and the library. My grandma and my older sister went to Walgreen’s to get some stuff, and while they were there my grandma bought a gallon of milk. After their little shopping trip to the drug store, my grandma and sister stop at the library to get some movies and books. Now my grandma didn’t know how long they were going to be, and she didn’t want the milk to spoil, so she brings the gallon of milk in with her. You might think, well that’s not that bad but it gets even weirder. My grandma decides to stash the milk behind a DVD shelf. Imagine walking by that shelf and seeing a gallon of milk just sitting there. That would be a very odd sight. So she hides the milk back there, and on the way out, just picks it back up, and walks out the door. I would have loved to have been there for that.

My grandma is not the type of person you would think does funny things, but believe me, she does. Of course she doesn’t do them on purpose, which actually makes them funnier. There are so many more stories where these came from. I mean think of it, a story for every time I see her, because basically they happen all the time. My grandma is like a comedian, but she doesn’t quite know it.
