The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't speak very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate.
After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed pillows on her right.
A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.
Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed her, then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.
A nephew who arrived late came up to Grandma and said, "Hi, Grandma, you're looking good! How are they treating you?"
Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the nephew...
"They won't let me fart."

Hee hee...I hope you are having a better day than yesterday..I was going to call you but I decided to put it off until this afternoon...I have to work the concession stand for tee ball this morning. I would write this on my own blog, but well...I STOPPED WRITING ON MY BLOG. Dammit.

Scary pic, really.
LMAO!! Hang on! Where did you get the photo of Nana from? Has she been hanging around the single bars stripping again?
Oh man... that is absolutely priceless! For a moment there, I really thought this was a true-story moment!
Having just spent two weeks with two women in their eighties, I can completely relate to the punch line.
Excellently funny post. As siempre.
After a few tense, arguing moments with my gram (84) over the past few days, I finally decided it has all been a breakdown in communication. Now I know what the cause of it all may be. When I thought of the words 'anal-retentive', I had noooo idea. Thanks for the laugh!!!!
M, I got her photo off the weirdest site a long time ago. Maybe Katya will know what this means, but it was a bunch of photos and the guy was calling them all 'mingers.'
Laura, hey girl, we finally did talk. And I hope you are able to start blogging again. Then again, I hope things get much better soon, too.
Brighton, it isn't pretty, is it? But it fits so well.
Le Laquet, that is a horrible thought. I'd go blind.
Robin, I haven't seen you in a long time. I was going to go looking for you. I'm glad you're back.
Dotty, two weeks of that? Augh!
Livewire, you gotta let them fart, girl! It's what comes natural.
Mingers, about people = really ugly!! In a "no redeeming qualities at all/even their mother thinks they're ugly" kind of way!
Mingers, about an action = disgusting, depraved etc!
OH my gosh...That is just to damn funny..I really hope I don't look like that when I am 100..
Le Laquet, Ah, now it makes sense. In Memphis 'mingers' means nothing. We have no such word.
Stephanie, I doubt you could ever look like that. She looks like a woman who has lived a hard, wild, Avon-addicted life.
hey, thanks for visiting my blog. I cracked up reading about 'granny' needing to fart. I 'll have to come around to have a good belly laugh again. you're a funny guy
Robyn, you know, including you I know of 4 different women named 'Robin' or 'Robyn' who visit my blog from time to time. I can't recall if you said or not, but you aren't in Florida by any chance, are you? Or Canada?
Hmmm...so I guess back in her day, girls were allowed to fart????
Apparently I was born in the wrong era...;)
Stacy, they don't let you fart down there? What's up with that?
No, I'm the firsttime pregnant girl in Texas , DFW area that stood up for Stephanie on her blog.
Robyn, ah you're THAT Robyn! That's cool. Glad to have you visit my humble ablog. :)
