Grandones are spending Sat & Sun w/ us. Yesterday afternoon the 8 yr old grandson came in from playing, put in a movie & plopped down in the floor to watch.
With head on a pillow & hands under head he says yuk Papa, my underarms stink.
Me. Well you need a shower before we go to the singing tonight then.
GS. Papa it dont smell that bad.:hairpull:
AAAAhhh memories of Grandones.

 

[Snagglepuss]

Gotta love'm

Are they a little ornery, LT? :wink:

 

[longtooth]

Not really. I have to say, we really have 4 well behaved grandones. They are truely blessings.

 

[OD*]

Good, good for you Sir.

 

[TraderJack]

I'll take every one of them until they turn 2. :biggrin:

After that... they're ALL YOURS!:hairpull:

 

[longtooth]

From about 5 up is when I want them. When they are old enough to ask to go w/ Pappa, they get to.

Grandones...I'll have to say that goes both ways...the fondest memories of my life are of my Grandad. He's been gone since 1997, and I still think of him daily...they don't make them like that anymore...he was born Feb. 14, 1912 and died in August 25 1997...a few miles from home, he went **** hunting by himself (I was working) obviously had stopped to take a nap...and never woke up. Theres only one way to put it...he was one hell of a man. Hard as a rock, yet soft as a ball of cotton.

Grandones???

This appears to be a name for grandchildren.

I am 72 years old and have never heard this term....

I'm guessing Italian, right?

Thanks.

 

[TraderJack]

New term for me too Pappy. I knew what he meant, but I've never heard it used before either. I have several Italian friends and have not heard it there??? But, you never know...

 

[longtooth]

Not Itallian. Just a ******* Country boy let a new word come outta the mouth.

In proper English, yes Grandchildren.

 

[TraderJack]

I was watching StarWars again last week and they referred to them as 'younglings'!
When I was one, you could call me anything, except late for supper! :biglaugh:

 

[longtooth]

That still holds true today. I am never late for anything & especially for supper.

OK, I see now. I was seeing 'Gran - dones' instead of 'Grand - ones'........:wavey:
