grandparents on Dad's side, she would always be calling grandpa "dummkopf". Yeah old germans.

 

My thread starter came from my mom's parents.

 

When we were back there for their 65th anniversary we rented a limo and it was going to be a surprise, but grandpa wanted to know what was going on and he was getting upset. He was about 90. My sis took him aside and asked if grandma had ever ridden in a limo. He thought about it and then said, no she has never rode a llama. 

 

Grandparents, never take them for granted.

When my brother and I were teens, my grandmother had great advice regarding women. Don't settle for just anybody. "Play the field"

I have a thousand smartass quips that i spout off from time to time that are not advice from grandparents and are probably not appropriate for this thread. My wife says I need to write a book. One of the ones I like the most is - you'd be surprised at how much you can hear when you keep your mouth shut.

My cousin was walking around with a limp from some injury which my Grandpa didnt know about and he yelled out in front of all our family "Jason your walking like you shit in your britches". 90 year old man calling out a dummy made me laugh for days.
