Crazy Nan Handcock

Since I am on vacation this week, and my 87 year-old  grandmother needed a new area rug for her apartment.  I thought that it would be nice to take her out shopping and get her a rug as an early X-mas present.  At least then I knew that it would not be a gift that would be sold in her annual spring yard sale.  And it would be one less gift that I will have to go shopping for on Dec.23rd!   So we went out for breakfast and then to 4 different stores before she found one that she liked.  Then we returned a sweatshirt that she got for my dad for his birthday that probably would not have fit my oldest daughter.  Then we went shopping for a new sweatshirt.  Then we went out for lunch.  The day was starting to get long and I was starting to get thirsty for a high powered adult beverage!!   Just then my crazy Nan Handcock made the whole day all worth while with the quote or saying of the day.  As I was driving the mini van down Rt.30 she says,  out of the blue,  "The sons of bitches said they raised the price of Milk, eggs, and bread,  because of high gas prices.  Well the gas has gone down and the price of everything is still through the goddamn roof!!   Why is that?  Why?  I just dont get it,  this country aint like it used to be!!   Why??  I hope that there Obomber fixes this goddamn mess that were in!!

I just laughed out loud a little and laughed inside a lot!!  I did not know what to say, other than-  "You nailed the nail right on the head Nan,  They're all just a bunch of Sons of Bitches!!!"

Love, Eric grandsoncock
