Why Grandmas Should Run The World

The end to bad politics has been sitting in the recliner, knitting all along.

1. They make sure that you never go hungry

World hunger. Solved. Boom.

2. They triple check that you're warm enough/cool enough for each appropriate season

Someone is without a coat for the winter? Grandmas wouldn't have that.

3. They actually care about what you think and have to say

No questioning if your voice is being heard because you know Grandma has been listening since you were in the womb.

4. They nurse you back to health (for free)

Healthcare plans and hospital bills? Not when Grandmas are around.

5. They are great judges of character

No need for expensive trials—just take them to Grandma. She will know if they're guilty.

6. They are true moral compasses—for better or worse

This is great because Grandmas would lead the world in the way it should go. This is not so great when you aren't making the best decisions and Grandma knows about it.

7. They don't believe in restricted, healthy (disgusting) school meal plans

Goodbye, questionable grayish (soy) burgers.

8. You never want to do anything that could disappoint them

Violent crimes? Yeah right, not when Grandmas run the world. Nobody wants to disappoint Grandma.

9. They're often free seamstresses

When you're broke and your clothes don't fit, just go to Grandma. She will fix everything.

10. They give you money without you even having to ask

The solution to poverty has been Grandma all along.

11. Their door/couch/kitchen is always open when you need anything

Bad days wouldn't exist. Go see Grandma; they make everything better.

12. They're in tight with Jesus

Jesus and Grandma are the best of friends. Nothing gets past the two of them.

13. They still have the power over parents

Grandmas are some of the only people that actually have a right to tell parents how they should be parenting.

14. They don't believe in punishment without a whole lot of love

You definitely know when you did something wrong, because Grandma won't hesitate to let you know. She will also shower you with love (baked goods) at the same time.

15. They can (and will) clean anything at any given time

There would be no sanitation problems when Grandmas rule the world.

16. They are prayer warriors

You need a miracle? Chances are, Grandma already knows and has been praying for it.

17. To top it all off, they have the best jokes

There would be an abundance of happiness in the world because of Grandma's jokes. (You have to laugh, even when you don't really want to.)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
