Grandma didn't mean to be naughty, she was
actually spoonfed an untruth and it's her innocence
which make this story so darn funny. I know I was
laughing so hard I hard to stop and wipe my eyes so
I could finish the story. The imagery is vivid and
priceless....let's approach another weekend with a
laugh in the air and a smile on our face. Have a terrific
weekend, make some time for yourself, your family and
your friends :-)
Grandma is eighty-eight years old and still drives her own car.
She writes:
Dear Grand-daughter,
The other day I went up to our local Christian book store and saw a
'Honk if you love Jesus' bumper sticker ..
I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a
thrilling choir performance, followed by a thunderous prayer meeting..
So, I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.
Boy, am I glad I did; what an uplifting experience that followed.
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in
thought about the Lord and how good he is, and I didn't notice that the
light had changed...
It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't
honked, I'd never have noticed.
I found that lots of people love Jesus!
While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy,
and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, 'For the love of
God!'
'Go! Go! Go! Jesus Christ, GO!'
What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus!
Everyone started honking!
I just leaned out my window and started waving and smiling at all those
loving people.
I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!
;
There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him
yelling something about a sunny beach.
I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only his middle finger
stuck up in the air.
I asked my young teenage grandson in the back seat what that meant.
He said it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something.
Well, I have never met anyone from Hawaii , so I leaned out the window
and gave him the good luck sign right back.
My grandson burst out laughing.
Why even he was enjoying this religious experience!!
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that
they got out of their cars and started walking towards me.
I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is
when I noticed the light had changed.
So, grinning, I waved at all my brothers and sisters, and drove on
through the intersection.
I noticed that I was the only car that got through the intersection
before the light changed again and felt kind of sad that I had to leave
them after all the love we had shared.
So I slowed the car down, leaned out the window and gave them all the
Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away. Praise the Lord
for such wonderful folks!!
Will write again soon,
Love, Grandma

Gail,
My coffee came out of my nose on that one. Thanks...I think.
Rich
OK Gail, you win. That's the best story I've read in a long, long time. Thanks for posting it.
That was very funny. Thanks for sharing that with us this morning
Miss Gail! I've seen that before but it was well worth re-reading! My Grannie would have given them the Hawaiian salute... only on purpose!! xxoo
Hi Gail, you've got to love older people. The Hawaiian good luck sign is a good one. Thanks for the chuckle.
Looks like someone else is feeling a little spunky this morning too. I am glad to see that your grandma is enjoying life.
Oh, that is deliciously naughty! lol
Good Morning Friends: I wish she was my Grandma....she would be a hoot, do you think she could have feigned such innocence......NAH!!!
I'll be out of the office most of the day so will catch up later and over the weekend. Thank you all for stopping by, happy to see you laughing.....remember happy is as happy does, see you later.
Age does have it's privileges, like getting to the other side of the intersection unharmed... thanks for the laugh on Friday morning.
Thanks for sharing your post this morning. I am enjoying my cup of coffee.
Gail, I am really laughing on that one, I love little old granny stories! She is a feisty one, ain't innocence grand!
Gail,
Hoooohoooooohaaaaaaahhaaaaaaa! That was hilarious. The funny thing is I can picture this happening. Thanks for a great laugh! I needed that today!
Brigita
We all love our Grandmas. Each one is so special. . . and a great source of funny material like this. Thanks for providing the laughs today. Loved it.
Gail, Humm...the things I learn reading your blogs, I never knew that guesture was the Hawaiian good luck sign! Thanks for the intel ;)
That is hysterical! I will have to share! Thanks!
Hi Gail ! I love the granny spirit- oh yes I do! Thanks for the laugh tonight!!
Gail..being from Florida,I have grannies all around me....so I understand completely what you are saying!~
Gail: I am almost at that same age myself... so I will have to start practicing. Actually... I think I've already got quite a bit of it down already. take care...
Morning guys....I'm happy this funny "raised your spirits"....hahahaha Rather than respond individually here, I'm heading over to visit with you all.
Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend and Happy Fathers Day to the gents :-)
LOL @all your comments....you made me laugh too, very nice :-)
I love it! I just saw a cool video about an 89 year old lady who still drives a car she bought back in 64. This gal goes all over the place traveling by herself. The guys asks her 'aren't you afraid to travel along being a lady and a senior" She says.....check this out.....I carry a gun.! Good grief I can't imagine my mom or grandma traveling all over alone and packing some heat.
I bet this grandma would! Thanks for the Saturday Laugh!!!!!
Hi Gail! Hahaha that was a great start on my sunday morning.I need to show it to Per also.Hope you are doing well. :-)
Hi Cecilia.....how are things in Sweden? Tell Per Happy Fathers Day :-) I'll write you about FaceBook, I'm very seldom on it and usually forget it's even there. This is the social platform I'm on most of the time. Thanks for checking in with me :-) Have a super Sunday!
Hi Anna Banana...I agree, this would not be the persona my Mom or Gramma would have portrayed either. But you've got to love these characters, they make our lives so much richer.
Gail, very funny story, and well told! I always am annoyed by bumper stickers in general (why do people want to tell others their personal business - it baffles me...) and ones that ask people to do something I generally think of as rude - honk - are a particular peeve for me... so I especially loved the absurdity of it all.
