You can tell so many funny stories while recalling your childhood, right? The authors of today’s piece shared their touching and exciting stories about their loving grandmothers.
- My grandmother used to tell me to be like a cat since everything is in my paws whenever I was feeling down as a child – @Overhear
- I went back home to see my parents, who also had my grandmother living with them. She has spent almost three years in bed. I was with her at home one evening when my parents went away, and the door was knocked on by someone. I opened it and found an older man playing the accordion. Tell her that Jason came to perform songs under her window, and he said, “How is Katy?” (my grandmother). He has been doing it for an hour. He was her first love, as Granny was listening and smiling – @Overhear
- My grandmother was quite demanding and greedy. When our boiler malfunctioned at one point, she borrowed one from her neighbor. I switched it on to boil some water, but that didn’t work either. My grandmother claimed that I had broken it, began to yell, grabbed the boiler, and began to chase me. She beat me with the boiler once she had me in her hands. We then learned that the power had gone out. – @Overhear
- When I saw my grandfather wearing a black leather coat in an old photograph of my great-grandparents today, my hands began to shake, and tears welled up in my eyes. My great-grandparents’ love story came to mind. My grandma made the decision to use a mirror and her friends to read her fortune when she was 20 years old. My grandmother claimed that when it was her turn, she saw a figure in a dark cloak, became frightened, and gave up trying to read her fortune. A few months later, while she was crossing the street, she spotted a tall figure wearing a black cloak and became frightened. However, the man approached her and introduced himself—it was my grandfather. While bidding my grandmother farewell, he promised her that if he survived, he would find her and marry her. Soon after the war began, he was sent to the front lines. He found her. – @Overhear
- My grandma used to pour without spilling a drop of milk into a little mug from a three-liter container when I was a child. At the time, I thought this was the greatest human superpower in the world. – @Overhear
- Being a third-generation native of Moscow makes my friend incredibly happy. His mother enjoys narrating how they came to be there: his grandmother was traveling from Tambov to Saint-Petersburg when she was forced to stay in Moscow because she lacked the funds to continue to her destination. – @Overhear
- I decided to install the satellite dish I ordered for my grandmother myself. I tried to get the appropriate signal for 20 minutes but was unsuccessful. When Granny slapped the dish with a wooden mop and told me I couldn’t do anything right, the problem was solved. – @Overhear
- My mum gave a flip phone to my grandmother. Since then, my grandmother has stopped saying goodbye at the end of phone calls in favor of saying, “The conversation is finished, amigo,” and then hanging up. – @Overhear
