Signs You're Already a Grandma

Signs You're Already a Grandma

I am 21 years old, yet I'm pretty sure I'm already a grandma 98% of the time. Here are some signs, you might be a grandma in a twenty-something's body.

1. You have a strange abundance of yarn. Whether it's accompanied by knitting needles or crochet hooks, you are skilled yarn master.

2. You are ready for bed by 8 pm and you have to force yourself to be a normal human until a more acceptable bedtime.

3. When someone says that you aren't leaving until 10, you find yourself in a bit of shock. My mouth usually drops, because that's pajama time, not drinking time.

4. You don't understand what people are saying half the time, whether that's what dab means (still not sure) or some other slang term, you just can't understand slang.

5. While you might understand technology and social media, new ones have to grow on you before you decide to download and learn how to use them.

6. You always have band-aids, snacks, and anything else you might need in your purse or backpack just in case of an emergency. Always prepared!

7. Sometimes you get referred as "mom" but that's because you are so motherly sometimes, but hey, grandmas were once moms too.

8. You have a plethora of weird sayings that no one says anymore, so when you say them, they are typically not well received or understood.

9. Whenever you go out, you always are hoping for a way to get out fast. You plan a time to leave, then try to find excuses to leave early because bed just sounds so much better.

10. When you go to a party, and actually stay, you have to help clean up. You can't let all the cups lay out and things stay in the sink. You need to help clean, what kind of person would you be if you let dirty dishes lay around?

You might be a grandma but you're still a fun time. Everyone needs a grandma their age to be there sometimes. Embrace your old soul.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
