Oh, yes... this is what finally prompted me to get my blog started, because I have the best advice ever given by an older person whom I've admired.
The advice is:
It's better to fart and bear the shame... than not to fart and bear the pain!
This sage advice came from none other than my very own... GRANDMOTHER!
Yep, there she is... Barbara Crocker. Gram. No doubt practicing what she preached.
A classy lass, indeed... she always had a clever quip to share! The best sense of humor ever, I might add - twisted - that might explain why I am the way I am. Alas, she left for the Big Bingo Parlor in the Sky back in March of 1997, but I see a lot of her in my girl... in a good way.
Thanks to OldDogNewTits and AccordingToMags for prompting me to remember such sage advice from such a fun and crazy lady!
That is perfect advice. So true! :) Thank you for linking up. Welcome to the Bloggy madness.
ReplyDeleteShe had a million of 'em! No wonder I was constantly embarrassed...
DeletePerfect. I would expect nothing less from you!
ReplyDeleteNow do you understand where I get it from?
DeleteThis is so funny! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that one before. LOVE IT! Good old Grandma.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up. And be sure to link up not just your blog in general but the specific link to your 'Ketchup with Us' post so it continues to come up correctly when clicked. Does that make sense?
It does! I'll have to fix that... I'm tiiiired!
DeleteThis is really hysterical. Your grandma sounds like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI came over from the Ketchup Linkup.
I love this advice. We are a freely farting family. Growing up, I was prohibited from even saying the word "fart". We had to say FLATULATE with a straight face. My mom loved emulating the queen. Us kids, not so much.

So funny! Love it! The over-65 set can be "a hoot" - as my over-65 mom says. ;-)

My mom used to say that too! I think she got it from her grandmother, because I know I never heard *her* mom say it!
