[mallyh]

[Rockrose]

But you know what? You have provided your grandchildren with some lovely memories of a fun grandma xx

[Mamyalynne]

Because it's fun , that's why - sounds lovely.x

[Sqad]

God save me from "fun grandmas."

[mallyh]

yes they loved it ,had to do uptown funk next lol x

[Rockrose]

Well done mally my nana never did stuff like that x

[pastafreak]

Sqad...I'm sure there are "fun grandmas" who would meet with your approval ;-)
Keep doing what you're doing, mally. It adds to the memories.

Take no notice of sqad mally ;0)
Me and the granddaughter have regular karaoke/ dancing sessions while she's having a shower .. all good fun.

[mallyh]

perhaps sqad likes older ladies to make tea and sit quietly .I may be "old" but I still like to have fun x

[Sqad]

Love it! Love it!.....give it some stick granny.

;-)

[ummmm]

My nan was great fun. She used to dance all the time. We had storage heaters back in the day and she'd do 'let's warm our bottoms' dance in front of them.

Good for you Mallyh, I am sure it made everyone smile.

Perhaps Sqad prefers his grandmas to be like this: "...and some few small [grandmas}, not wanted in the kitchen, nor anywhere else for that matter, sat on the very edge of their chairs, poised and brittle, afraid to break, like faded cups and saucers.":)

[Sqad]

Decorum, setting a good example, discipline, guidance.......that is what a good grandparent is all about...........not bloody jigging about in front of the "little 'uns".

[gness]

That's lovely, Mally....but then you do come across as a fun person.....your grandchildren will have great memories of a grandma being what a grandma should be....
Mine was a miserable old trout...yes I appreciate she had a hard life....but the odd smile wouldn't have gone amiss.......My children's grandma wasn't a lot better but my grandchildren will tell a different tale.....both have grown to be adults to be proud of despite the antics of their grandma who showed them how to build exploding volcanoes.....dances reels at weddings.....and has passed on to them her recipe for the best mud pies........... :-)

[mallyh]

so you don't believe in having fun ^^^^

By the way, my little quote at 1502 was from "A Child's Christmas In Wales". "Grandmas" was substituted for "aunts".

[pastafreak]

The only grandparent I had was an Italian widow dressed in black, with little or no English who never...that I can remember...ever spoke to me or cuddled me. I'd have loved a granny like you. X

Pasta I think that’s a lovely compliment to Mally

[mallyh]

it is thankyou xxx

My Grandmother didn't do jigs or dances with me either. She was a quiet dignified lady, loving and sweet and so very kind. And taught my sibling and myself manners, to be polite, never be rude and we absolutely adored her and so did our children. She was a loving shining light in our lives when we so needed it.
