: You're grandma is a diamond!
: My granpa told me he'd been putting "anti-tiger powder" down in his back garden, I was like "but granpa...there aren't any tigers here?!" to which he replied "Yep - its fast acting powerful stuff!" what can I say? I was young and unaware of obvious jokes at the time...made me laugh though!!
Your grandpa sounds cute too.
Grandparents (some) can be wonderful people. One more I'll share with you. My Grandma used to love to play 500 (a variation of Spades where any suit can be trump) and she made it a family staple. We still play it tournament style at family reunions. So we started learning very young. I can remember being 5, sitting at the table and wanting to deal so badly. But instead of asking to deal, I would say "I wanna pass out. I wanna pass out." My grandma, the unrelenting smartass, would always say "Go ahead." I loved her so much.
