Oh grandma x



Grand Lady - Nicole Hamilton

Everyone rants and raves about old people and how they aren't in touch with technology or whatever... Normally I hear people saying this and simply think "SHUT UP" - if people made comments everytime they logged into facebook or twitter or tumblr or wrote another aimless blog then eventually they'd be pretty pissed. However, recently my grandma got facebook, which brought about 2 problems:
(1)After 4 years of buying me sugar pink ballerina printed pajamas - despite my total lack of intrest in it since I was 5 and told that having a rainbow coloured leotard with a strawberry on the front was inappropriate - and basically thinking that I'ma sugar coated sweetheart, adding me on facebook has seemed to open her eyes to a whole different perspective. Gone are the days when grandma though I was the type of the girl that would say "oh gosh" instead of "oh fuck", believe me, oh my fucking gosh that illusion seems to completely disappeared. The only comfort that I've managed to find is that my cousin had an argument on facebook that seems to of happily forshadowed my own language.
(2)Undoubtedly with her best intentions in mind, grandma has started inboxing my friends when their birthdays are coming up, sending birthday messages signed off "love from nana sheila" - sweet as this may be NO ONE calls her nana sheila and frequently these inboxes also include baby pictures of me - that lets be serious are genuinely so unflattering, just to show off that she knows how to.
So overall what I'm trying to say is don't let old people touch technology, ever, or at very least keep them away from facebook.
