The Chronicles Of My Grandma Bonnie: Part 1

Because we all need a laugh sometimes, and my grandma provides us with just that.

The Chronicles Of My Grandma Bonnie: Part 1
Paige Larsen

The one word that describes my grandma: funny. Living in the same town as my grandma has given me so many opportunities to just hang out with her, which means there is almost always a new story to share. She has a unique personality that you probably won't find in anybody else in this world and would be described as one of a kind. There are a handful of stories with her that are top-notch funny, and I can't help but share them with everyone.

One day, my mom, my grandma and I all decided to go to Omaha (about 45 minutes from our hometown of Fremont) to do some shopping. On our trek there, we were all talking about how my grandma had just gotten wireless internet installed at her house. Like most people who are her age, she doesn't know a whole lot about technology and how it works, and that leads me to the thickness of my story. This was the very conversation between us all that surely made my mom and me laugh:

Mom: "So how is the new internet working out for you?"

Grandma: "I just don't understand it. It's not working well for me."

Mom: "What don't you understand about it?"

Grandma: "I don't understand how it works. I need to be able to see it work in order for me to understand how the wireless connections work."

Me: "So you're saying you need to watch the WiFi waves go from your router to your device to understand it?"

Grandma: "Yes! I need to see the wireless waves go through the air and into my device, then I can understand how it works."

At this point, my mom and I were laughing hysterically, and my grandma wasn't sure why. We then explained to her how it worked and why you can't see the wireless waves. To this day, she still has wireless internet and is in the process of getting a new computer, along with a tablet she uses every now and then.

Even though my grandma isn't the most tech-savvy person, we still love her. She not only gives us some great stories to tell, but just a good and much needed laugh for the day. I appreciate that. Here's to everyone with grandmas like Bonnie.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
