    GrandMa's

    Thisa has been around in one form or another for a while, but every time I read it, I fall in love with this grandma. Bill










    Grandmas -Gotta Love 'Em!!! Here's a quote from a government
    employee who witnessed a recent interaction between an elderly
    woman and an antiwar protester in a Metro station in DC:

    There were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets
    on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.

    "An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and
    a young (20ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which
    she politely declined.

    The young protester put her hand on the old woman's shoulder
    as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, 'Lady,
    don't you care about the children of Iraq?'

    The old woman looked up at her and said , 'Honey, my father
    died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea,
    and a son in Vietnam. All three died so you could have the right
    to stand here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again.
    I'll stick this umbrella up your a** and open it. "

    God Bless America~

        I'll bet that's against the Geniva Convention.

          I love that anecdote. Reminds me of my great grandmother who brooked no nonsense and had a saltier tongue than a drunken sailor when she really had to let it go.
