Grandma Knows Best!

Grandma's are underrated - they can crack you up and they always know best! Why hasn't someone come up with a spin-off to 'Kids say the Darndest Things'?! I remember one time when my grandma hurridly shoved the pringle container my way and said 'Here, these will shut you up!'. I LOVE you grandma! lol.

What brings this to my mind is a laugh-out-loud session I had with a friend of mine tonight (she will remain unnamed out of respect to her grandma!). My friend has been stressed out lately because she has been so busy trying to spend time with many of her friends and relatives to which she would need a rolodex to keep track of (not to mention her full-time job)! Sounds like an average day in the life of anyone right? I don't think you understand how many friends this person has and the fact she can never say 'NO!' (you know the feeling of being burned-out). Recently she was venting to her grandma on the phone. A few days later she met up for dinner with her dear granny and low and behold grandma wrote 3 sample letters to which she should send to all her friends and relatives.

Ahem.....And I quote:

Letter #1

Don't phone me. I will phone you (if) I have time to be with you. I have had to drop friends because of health reasons. I have to keep my job, and it is stressful. I hope that when I get married and no longer working I will have time for all my friends.

Letter #2

To my friends,
I am stressed out and will have to say NO to my friends, I do not have the energy to work, look after myself and my home, also keep in touch with my many relatives, and friends. I have to put my well being first, sorry to make this decision NO other choice (Sad but true).

Letter #3

Dear friends,
The responsibility of my work and trying to entertain does not agree with my constitution. My job is very demanding , rest and relaxation are most important when looking after the sick and suffering. Hope that my relatives and friends will understand. I am feeling unbearable stress at the present time. Please don't phone, I will be in touch with you if time allows.


Awwww bless!!!!!!
All three were knee-slappers, but I think letter #1 is a keeper! ;) Which one is your favorite letter?
