A Visit to the Grand Parental Units

by - 10:25 PM

I went to my grandparents' house last night for a sleepover. They're awesome. Grandma has gotten more dry and sarcastic as she's gotten older and Grandpa is still as cheeky as ever. Listening to them together is basically the funniest thing in the world. Examples:

Grandpa: Verla, would you like an ice cream cone?
Grandma: I think I have room for that, but maybe just a little one.
Grandpa: Okay. Bring me a knife. I'll cut the cone in half.

Grandpa: You like tea?
Me: Well, just herbal tea...
Grandpa: In Australia they drink black tea. It's what the British nobility drink. Smelly black tea.
Grandma: Why do you say it like that?! TeeeEEEEEEaaa!

Grandma: What kind of meat are we going to have for dinner tomorrow?
Grandpa: How about pork chops?
Grandma: That will take too long to cook.
Grandpa: Well we can just throw them on this George Formy thing and cook them that way.
(Grandma and Chantelle snicker hysterically)

At this point I should probably point that my Grandpa Edwards is Australian. 100% Australian, 100% Awesome. Accent and everything. And good ol' G-ma loves mocking his accent occasionally. It's funny.
 Look at this little beauty I found on the wall... Yep. This is about 11 years ago. I dressed myself. Pay special attention to the Sailor Moon sweatshirt. Don't ask me what's up with the plastic beads in my hair, I have NO idea...
 The eucalyptus leaf taped to the office door.
Baby Chantelle. Found it in Grandma's jewellery box among about a dozen of my other cousins in locket form.
Yeah. They're a big deal. Guess it runs in the family. Ha.
