FOOD AND MEALTIME

---

"THESE are mashed potatoes!"
(stating the obvious)

[Gram, standing over the stove in the kitchen, is asked what's in the pot]
"I have a couple of legs and two big breasts."
(TMI, Gram!)

"Ask the girl in the kitchen if she wants some..."
(referring to her granddaughter)

"I use half butter and half Imperial Margarine."
(The secret to your cookies? Gram, you sound like a commercial!)

"What's easier to make?"
(when asked which dinner option she prefers among a few choices)

---

ON COPING WITH DIFFICULTIES

---

"Tomorrow is another day."
(Scarlett O'Hara, anyone?)

"At least we don't have warts."
(but she'd still love you "warts and all" if you had them)

"Life is not a bowl of cherries."
(rest assured that the old adage is wrong)

---

OUT ON THE TOWN

---

[Oh Mom, it's a single person bathroom...]
"Well, it's a good thing I'm only one person!"
(true dat!)

"Do you LIKE your hair that way?"
(family member returning from the salon or barber)

"Do you have your phone, do you have your pants, do you have your shoes?"
("American Express, don't leave home without it!")

"Lets ask whats-his-name."
(what are we asking, again?)

"Is THAT what you're wearing to the party?"
(better go back to the closet)

“I never drank to excess… maybe only once or twice.”
(telling a story of stumbling up the stairs past one of her adult daughters)

---

STAYING IN

---

"Oh he did it again!"
(EVERY instant replay of a baseball player hitting the same homerun)

[Watching the Magnificent Seven]
"We don't want to watch that?!? Isn't that just a bunch of guys on horses?"

---

ON AGING (GRACEFULLY OR OTHERWISE)

---

[Gram, how do you feel now that you are 99 years old?]  "Well, I feel 99."

"Oh what I wouldn't give to be 84 again."
(Gram in her 90s, recalling her father's medical problems when he was 84.)

"I can't believe how old you are!"
(Gram at 95, spoken to granddaughter approaching 50)
