It’s my grandpa’s birthday next week and he said “I don’t want to be 85” and my grandmother, his wife of 59 and a half years, said “well your only alternative is to die”, I can’t believe how affectionate they are
I was having lunch with them today and my grandpa started throwing napkins at my grandmother, and she balled it up and looked all set to throw it back but then she put it down and said “I will not throw it because I was brought up properly, you were dragged” she has spent ¾ of her life with this man
-once woke me up by kicking my bed really hard until i looked at him and then locked eyes with me, drank an entire cup of coffee without breaking eye contact, and then silently left the room
-wordlessly stuck a picture of justin trudeau on my wall, left if there for three months, and then took it down without explaining himself
-walked into the house and said “is it gonna look funny?” and when i said “what?” he shook his finger at me and walked away
-once before bed came into my room and kissed my forehead, said “no homo,” and left
-once came into my room while brushing his teeth, stared at me for five minutes, gave me a thumbs up and left
-once got upset that there was no bench in a forever 21, said “they’re trying to punish us. for being hetero, probably.”
-almost fell out of a hammock while i was typing this
i went into the kitchen and my dad was eating crackers and he said “theres nothing to see here.”
