Things I learned from my nana

1. You can want in one hand and shit in the other, see which one gets full fastest!

2. God tells us to make a joyful noise unto him, that doesn't necessarily mean it has to sound good.

3. Dryer sheets ward off mosquitos!

4. When someone is being a cry baby, lifting your shirt up and offering them some titty is an appropriate response.

5. God gave you dominion over creatures. (she seriously tells every bug that comes near her that god gives her dominion over them and to get out)

She might be crazy as a loon, but I love that old woman! What did your grandma teach you!

Nothing much I just loved sitting and watching the Atlanta Braves w/ her!! She absolutely lived them! And listening to her talk!! No offense to anyone but she was solo racist!! She was born raised and layed to rest in Alabama so she had her opinion voiced about everyone!!! It cracked me up!!

She taught me that if I turn on the bar stool one more time I could fly. THEY SPIN, that means you are meant to spin in them but noooo. She also taught me that I could with stand being knocked off said bar stool and survive a 4 foot drop.

I will be devastated when mine passes! Grandmothers are amazing! And they seem immortal! until they are gone.

 How to cook pretty much anything you want; how to shop without spending a fortune; how to raise well behaved kids that don't hate me (yet, I'm sure it's coming though!); pretty much all the important things in life, lol.

I learned the finer points of a sharp wit from all my grandmothers and great grandmothers.  Also when someone displeases you the most sensitive part of their body is their thumb or pinky and twist.
