My Big Mouth Family

I went home this past weekend, and had a weekend of nothing but family time. We had a shower for my Jason and Kari, and I've since decided that I need to get married, have a baby, or move, because they got lots of presents, and I was jealous!
But anyways, it was a lovely time with the family. I spent the weekend at my Granny's, and I haven't stayed there much in my teenage/adult years, so it brought back lots of memories. Especially when she called me the day before I got there to tell me she had bought me some snacks. Two things came to my mind: 1, I don't snack really and 2, I'm sure my Granny doesn't really know what sweet stuff I like to eat, some I'm pretty sure it Debbie cakes or something icky like that...
But, much to my surprise, it was Krispy Kreme donuts, which was wonderful. Good going, Gran!
In the midst of my family time, I've discovered that my family is very open and honest, and says whatever comes to mind, and it makes me laugh, so I figured I would share some conversations.

***Garrett, my 8 year old cousin, who had just "caught" a new pet turtle (#3) at my Granny's pond.
G: I named the turtle Anna.
Me: I thought the name was Tuck.
G: Well, it was, but it's a girl, so I had to change it.
Me: Garrett, how do you know that it's a girl.
G: Duh, I looked up under the turtle, and trust me, it's a girl!

Seriously???

***My 70 something year old church going Granny.
When asked at the shower if there was a strong man in the room, and her son was the only man around says, "Well, he's a man, but you better look elsewhere for the strong part."

When telling a story about someone who was talking about weight loss failures, my Granny says, "And, let me tell you, when I hugged her, she had fat rolls all around her middle."

When someone at church on Sunday asked where the rest of my family was, my church going Granny replies "They are all hungover."
Please know that she didn't mean this literally...I don't think that the person she was talking to knew that.

Family...gotta love them!!!
