Who loves a nasty nanna?
Is it just me or does everyone love a nasty nanna?
Mark was telling us before about his nasty nanna who faked alzheimers just to get out of talking to a relative she didn’t like…
Lots of people have a nasty nanna…but I think my husband John’s Grandma takes the cake…
Grandma lived to be almost one hundred and one, she was a very glamorous woman, truly looking gorgeous until the day she died…
Handsome is as handsome does though…and Grandma never held back…
When she first met me, she opened the door of her nursing home room at Kangaroo Point and said, “Good god, there’s a lot of you isn’t there?”
John and I took her to afternoon tea and over a slice of carrot cake Grandma told me I’d done very well getting engaged to John, “He’s not very good looking but very smart…”
Unexpectedly, when John and I got married, Grandma gifted us with the family silver. John isn’t the oldest boy grandchild and we certainly weren’t the first to get married. I’m sure she only did to piss off the older boy cousins…
Everyone was amazed that she gave it to us, John’s sister Mary told me that when she was a girl, Grandma used to hold up things in her house and say ‘Do you like this Mary?’ and Mary would answer “Oh yes Grandma, it’s beautiful!” To which Grandma would reply “Well you’re not having it, I’m saving it for Helen (…or Faith…some other cousin…)”
Nasty Nasty Nanna!
