Yesterday, Parker and I visited my grandmother. We brought her some persians because we are nice people.
grandma: wow. you really have gained weight.
me: …thanks. really, why would you say that?
grandma: well you have.
me: that’s not nice. you think i don’t know? just don’t say anything.
grandma: fine. oh laura, you are soooooooooooo skinny.
me: what is wrong with you? i don’t say, “oh margaret, look at those wrinkles.” why would you say anything?
grandma: because i am hoping you’ll eat less…and stop buying persians.
Ten minutes later,
grandma: you didn’t eat all of your persian. do you want some pie?
Welcome to my life. Just roll with it.

Wow your grandma sounds like my dad’s mom. Just blunt and just doesn’t get that even if something is true doesn’t mean it needs to be said out loud. This is funny because my mom and I were literally talking about this last night.
