Subject: [bksvol-discuss] My Grandma Likes to Say
Tomorrow I will finish scanning My Grandma Likes to Say by DENISE
BRENNAN-NELSON. It has a lot of handwritten parts in it that have to be typed
in. I think you will like this book.
Introduction
"Heavens to Betsy!" my grandma used to say, and I'd wonder, Who's Betsy? When
she'd tell me I was cute as a bug's ear, I'd think, "Grandma must not like me
very much." Bunnies and puppies are cute, but bugs' ears?!
Grandma liked to say, "She's not playing with a full deck." (I can't tell you
who she was talking about. She told me not to spill the beans.) Every year on
my birthday, Grandma gave me a silver dollar and advised me to save it for a
rainy day.
And in Grandma's eyes I hung the moon.
I didn't always understand what Grandma meant but her strange expressions
stirred my imagination. What funny pictures I created in my head!
What special expressions does your grandma use?
Listen to your grandma. She wasn't born yesterday and her words hold wisdom
that comes from having been around the block a few times.
The bottom line is grandmas are in a league all their own. They spoil us
rotten, teach us to look for the silver lining in every cloud, and encourage us
to follow our hearts.
And when push comes to shove grandmas would move heaven and earth for us.
