Grandparents Who Make Me Laugh

If someone gives you a handful of seeds you might want to make sure you know what they are before you plant them this spring.

According to the Huffington Post, 67 year old grandmother Alberta Kelley wanted something to grow in her garden next to her tomatoes. When a stranger gave her some seeds she didn’t ask any questions, she just planted them. Evidently Alberta has a green thumb because she raised a very healthy crop of marijuana.

She told the police she had no idea she was growing pot. She thought the seeds she had been given were flower seeds.

Alberta was cleared on all charges but I’m guessing that at Christmas dinner this year her family enjoyed teasing her about her marijuana garden. Wonder if she baked them any brownies?

 

And then there’s the story of a tech savvy grandpa

Or at least he thought he was.

His grandson is friends with one of my boys and I heard him telling a story about his grandfather that I couldn’t resist sharing.

Grandpa to grandson: I booty called your mother today.

Grandson (shocked): What?

Grandpa: You know, I sat on the phone and booty called your mom.

Grandson: That’s butt dialed, Grandpa! Please don’t say “booty called” again!

Grandpa: Why not?

Grandson: Just take my word for it and don’t do it, okay?

Grandpa: Well, okay but I don’t understand why.

Morale of these stories: Don’t take seeds from strangers and don’t use slang terminology if you aren’t sure what it means.
