I can’t really tell you what my grandma and grandpa used to say, as far as phrases and sayings go, other than my grandmother saying the general “make a mountain out of a molehill”. But my grandpa, he would tell us stories about the war, the war being World War II, he was also in Korea and Vietnam, a 3 War veteran. My grandpa had just about every job you could think of, he even drove a bus for Louis Armstrong. He worked for Universal Studios for a while, which is why my uncle, was born in California, even though my mother was born in Illinois. He liked to talk about movies, and music, and especially veterans benefits. He played drums with the local Jaycees up until honestly the year he died. Come to think of it, I do remember one thing my grandmother used to say, and it wasn’t to me, I believe it was to my nephew, “Liars go to hell”. Grandma did not put up with that kind of stuff. I miss my grandma and grandpa, my grandma died September 2011, and my grandpa died March 2013. I knew my dad’s mother, but I don’t remember my paternal grandfather. My grandma on that side though, I called her about a year before she died, and she had no idea who I was, she didn’t have really any reason for it, it’s just because I didn’t talk to her a lot so she didn’t know what my voice sounded like. She did always send me a birthday check up until I was about 19 though, so free money is cool.
