Out of the mouths of.............the elderly

We all know there is not a more honest, straightforward group of people than children. If you want the truth about something, ask a kid.....or in my world, an old person. Specifically my grandmother.

I have to be honest about something. I'm very reserved, even uptight in some people's opinions. I have been a little taken back by the fact that just because I'm engaged that makes people think they have the right to talk about my future sex life. I instantly tense up and change the subject as quickly as possible when that happens. I'm a private person and I just don't want to go there with people.

Imagine my surprise that the person who brings that up more than anyone else is not my best friend, but my grandmother. Seriously? I mean, come on!

If I live to be 100, I will never forget her response when I told her I was engaged. The first thing she said to me was, "You know you don't like people in your space and for people to touch you. You know he's going to touch you don't you?" Um, yeah. That's the plan.

Monday we had engagement pictures taken and when I showed her one of the pictures she said "Oh I don't like that one. He's giving you a 'come here baby' look." My brother responded "I hope so!"

Can we just talk about how weird that moment was? I am officially done even referencing Randy in my grandmother's presence. I can't keep having these moments with her.

Oh, and here is the picture in question. That was not my first thought when I looked at this picture but I'll certainly never be able to look at it the same again.
