more on grama

well needless to say there have been many funny things that have happened to me with my grama over the years. Most have to do with things that come out of her mouth. Grama has the reasoning ability and the social awareness of roughly a 4 year old. She says what comes to mind and she says it however and in whatever volume she chooses. There are times that i can head certain situations off if im on my toes. For instance if i head down an aisle at walmart and i see a very large person i turn my little train around and we head down another aisle quickly! Peoples size, choice of clothing, or even their color are all good reasons to head the other way. Somedays i just dont have the energy to aisle hop at walmart the store is as big as a country to begin with and i push gramas wheelchair and pull the cart behind me. So sometimes i just let the chips fall where ever they happen to fall. On those days i play the deaf caretaker. Not only do i pretend im deaf when grama is repeatedly trying to get my attention to point out whatever she has discovered, but i also play deaf when the poor recieient of the horrible comment hears then looks my way waiting for me to acknowledge that i heard. Its just easier. Ihave on many occasions had to really get stern with grama because she wont let something drop, and continues commenting. But this is another trycky situation, depending on her mood at that moment, choosing to go head to head with her is not always the smartest choice. You are basically choosing to do battle in a public place with someone who not only doesnt care what she says but she doesnt care who hears it. So it can turn out real ugly. I have had to threaten to take her to the car which of course i cant do and that usually quiets her.She doesnt want to miss ANYTHING! Then she pouts for a bit. But walmart has an endless supply of one of gramas favorite things in the world, children. She loves kids. And she speaks to each and every one we go by. She always loved kids. The checkout can be a little tricky. Just depends on the mood. She sees the bathroom signs and is very determined that she is going to head over there. for the most part if i open her snicker, her favorite candy bar in the world, then she is content.
