Why I'll Always Be A Grandma's Boy

It is not just because of the cooking.

Why I'll Always Be A Grandma's Boy
Andreas Fanos

I have always been a grandma's boy for as long as I can remember. She has been my lifeline and support for all of my life. She has done a lot for me and I never know how I can ever repay her back for everything she has done for me. There are many reasons why my grandma is the best grandma in the world and why I am a grandma's boy.

I am very close to my grandparents because my father was not around much growing up. I was around my grandparents the most, even more than my own mother I would say at times. Not to take away anything from my own mother, but I do love my grandparents the most, especially my grandmother. One reason I love my grandmother is because of the amazing cooking that she does for me. Anything I could want, for the most part, she will cook very well, whether it is lasagna or chicken or beef.

But I also love my grandma the most because of everything she has done for me. My grandma outwardly spoils me. When I was growing up, my mother worked a lot and she would drop me off at my grandparents' home quite often to be taken care of. My grandma took care of me, clothed me, kept a roof over my head, and consoled me. The person she cares most for is me. She will not even think of herself, thinking about me over her.

Another reason I am a grandma's boy is because she understands me the most. She is the one to get my mother off my back and to calm me down. A lot of the times my mother will say no for me to get something, and she will say yes. My grandma also has a good sense of humor. She is able to crack funny jokes about my grandpa or anything in general. She understands me even more than my mother at times. She has a lot of patience and is always understanding my problems. My grandma also gives good advice and most of the time it works when I listen. Whether it was advice about girls or school or anything else.

Another reason I respect and love my grandma is because of the hard work she has done in her life and raising a family. My grandma worked hard coming from Greece to America working first in a factory to working at Shoprite later down the line for many years. My grandmother worked her way up through society having nothing at first and now in present time having a home and all. My grandparents really are the embodiment of the American Dream. My grandma also has a lot of wisdom along with my grandpa. They also have many unique and interesting stories to tell.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
