Sometimes the best humour comes from the most unlikely person..
During my recent trip back home, I had visited my great grandmother's place ...98 years old and still as sprightly as ever...We were visiting her along with my mom and grandma..It was 3 generations goin to meet the senior most of all..
My great grandma was meeting my Grandma after a long gap and I simply couldnt help but admire her humour sense when this happened..

*Great Grandma comes out to the living room in a jiffy..*
After having a look at the visitors at home..GG smiles and tells mom..
"Pennamma(Grandma) looks very old..isnt it..Naatukaar parayum Pennamma ente ammaya ennu!!(The public will say am her daughter!!)"
Someone pulling of such a lovely joke at that age.. simply superb Ammachi..

That was a classic!!!
When my mother saw her grandma grinding masala on the grinding stone she offered to take over. My great grandma brushed aside her favorite grand daughters offer with a "you will not be able handle this heavy grinding stone"! :)) And yes, she was also slim like your GG.
How I miss that generation. Enjoy her presense while you can :)

Just wanted to tell you that me and my husband had nice laugh on saturday morning after reading this...my granny-in-law is always in high spirits and fun loving and every now and then she keeps teasing my MIL for being very passive...:)
Shn

OMG! Your great grandma is simply amazing! Zest for life at 98! I should say she s awesome...
sexy dame!! really! :D
Damn -- your grandma is one helluva lady! You enjoy your holiday back home? Stuffed yourself with good food? ;)
tee hee...
great granma's can have that effect on people...man u should have seen mine...at 93 she used to walk about the house with so much energy that used to put us lazyheads to shame
wonder if it was the air that time that made that generation hate the idea of sitting...they are just always on the move :)
Ha Ha... That was a great one !!
