Football Fashion

I'm concerned. This is how I found my grandmother on the football field the other day.

Babcia bearing a striking resemblance to the killer from "I Know What You Did Last Summer"

I understand she was trying to stay warm and all. But she had a horrifying profile. But don't worry...it's still sweet, cute, adorable, Babcia underneath it all!

Presh...

Thumbing 101

Babcia caved. She wanted to learn how to "Thumb". Which if you've missed previous entries, is "using an iPhone" because when Wenisa and I are using out iPhones, she gets upset that we're just "thumbing about". She doesn't allow "thumbing" at the dinner table, however after dinner one day she wanted to look at pictures of Wenisa's family. So Wenisa taught Babcia how to scroll through pictures on her iPhone.

Babcia used each and EVERY finger on her hands to prove that you don't just have to use her thumb.

Demonstrating the use of multiple fingers to scroll through pictures... with wine.

The wine improves thumbing abilities. Just an FYI. She told me to call this "Fingering 101". I had to censor my grandmother.

Diclofenac and Humira Hugs,

Googling 101.

Babcia: How do you Google something?
*Justine looks at Babcia's computer, it appears she is currently on www.comcast.com*
Justine: Well first you have to go to Google.
Babcia: Well I have the thing here. So where do I type it in so that Google can call it?
Justine: ??? Just type in the address right there... 

Just plain old Google. Not Google voice. Just plain Google.

 She wasn't even trying to Google. She was just trying to type in a website, she just didn't know where to type it in. 

:) Love her.

Klonopin and Crazy Pills,

You know it's Football Season when...

FOOTBALL SEASON!
1. Babcia spends her weekends watching Penn State and UConn games on TV
2. Babcia makes dinner in the morning for Wenisa and I because she goes to my little cousins' practices and games at night
3. Babcia is screaming at the TV (also very common during UConn Women's Basketball season)
4. Babcia's fold up chair is consistently in her car
5. Babcia can be found as a fixture on the football field conversing with parents during the week
6. Babcia is consistently not home until after dark
7. She can be found wearing this:

The back of the jersey says the last name of my cousins, and that's their number! And yes, she's got a baseball in her hand.. She's silly like that

She is a dedicated grandma :)

Grandma-to-English Dictionary

This is a growing list of words and or phrases from either myself/Wenisa or from Babcia that we have had to use the Grandma-to-English Translator for. Bridging generation gaps with our speech has proven to be a challenge.

"I'm Good"
Babcia - Well I don't know... It's a nebulous term. Do you know what nebulous means? (No...) I think people need to say Yes if they mean "YES", or No if they mean "NO". What's the matter with "No thank you, or Yes please?"
Justine and Wenisa - I'm Good means. I'm all set. I don't want it, or I'm content. It's nicer then "No."

"Skank"
Babcia - I have NO idea. I do understand the other definitions for the other words you gave me...
Justine and Wenisa - Whore and Slut? Right...that's the same as a skank.

"Thumbing"
Justine and Wenisa - I don't even want to guess
Babcia - It's that thing you both do at the dinner table with your thumbs and your twittering!! Dinner time is a time for NON-THUMBING!

*Justine answers the phone* "Hey..."
Babcia - What happened to "HELLO?"
Straz (Friend on the phone) - That's SO two decades ago!

"I was very busy, I didn't know what to do next... do I felt like a one armed paper hanger with diarrhea"
Justine and Wenisa - WHAT? How can you have a hanger with one side? And how can it have diarrhea?
Babcia - It means I was trying to multitask. It's so pitiful, because you kids don't understand this. When you hang wallpaper, you put paste on the back of the wallpaper paper that's the height of the room, like 8 or 9 ft long. You need two hands to get to to get it to stick to the wall. If you had only one arm, you'd have a problem, and if you had diarrhea, you'd REALLY have a problem!

"Biffle"
Babcia - Never heard of it.
Justine and Wenisa - Best Friend For Life.
Babcia - Oh BFF! O-M-G...I know that one!

Lots of Love and Lovenox,
Justine and Wenisa
