The other night, while driving our 6 year old grandson home, we made up silly and a slightly naughty lyrics to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. For instance, "Comet" became "Vomit," "Cupid" became "Stupid," and Rudolph became the "Snot Nosed Reindeer." We pulled out all the stops, using as many gross terms we could imagine to make a 6 year old boy laugh out loud. When Grandpa substituted Shitzen for Blitzen, I thought little N would bust a gut. Good times!
I don't remember my grandparents doing things like this. I fear I am a bad influence. I always knew I was with my friends, but I figured I'd outgrow it long before I became a grandmother. Guess not.
You just confirmed for me that you're a STAR grandmother! 🌟 Your grandkids are lucky!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks!
DeleteI just read this out loud to Roger. We had a good laugh. You are definitely a STAR grandma.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friend. I give it the old college try.
DeleteColette outgrow being outrageous? NEVER
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteWho says you're a bad influence? It seems more likely N will believe you and Grandpa are on his side. Let other adults wag a sanctimonious finger. Laughter offers a far better bond than "good" advice.
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be true.
DeleteI think it is delightful. Grandparents are meant to be the ones little people can turn to when Mom and Dad are a little scary to be silly with. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emma. Your Xmas songs post inspired me!

ReplyDeleteI don't have grandkids but I did use to alter lyrics to make my sons giggle. And I always loved about my grandmother that she delighted in telling dirty jokes.
Oh that must have been fun (grandmother telling dirty jokes). Welcome, by the way.
DeleteI only had one grandmother, who only would have raised her eyebrows, then continued rolling noodle dough.
ReplyDeletehahaha. I love homemade noodles.
DeleteI never knew my grandparents. I sing to Katie a lot, children's songs because that's what she likes, but she's 26 now so I adult them up. Plus she likes anything to do with pee or poop, always funny. So I sing "The driver on the bus he pees his pants....", you get the idea. But I think I'm going to steal your version of Rudolph, she's like it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, in turn, I will steal your song! Sure to be a huge hit.
DeleteThat six year old boy thinks he has the greatest grandparents ever.
ReplyDeleteHe has other grandparents who are pretty great, too. I love my family.
DeleteGrandparents Naughty by Nature, yep, you are of my Tribe! My Maternal Nanna always did the Naught Song thing and to this day, over Sixty Years later, I remember every one of those Songs and it brings Smiles to my face, little N will likely do the same, it is an enriching influence my Friend and Priceless! My Parents told a Story about me at Age 2 in a European Club being given free Maraschino Cherries by the Bartender if I'd get up on the Counter and Sing my Nanna's Naughty Christmas Songs for the other Patrons! My Parents tried in vain to substitute some of the more colorful words with less Naughty ones {ass with bum for example} but I wouldn't have it! They were so embarrassed, it was a more prudish time and they didn't want people thinking THEY had taught me those Colorful Songs. *winks*
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Love it.
DeleteWicked and well done!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks!
DeleteHa! He will ALWAYS remember that. In a good way, I mean. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I assume stories will be told about Grandma and Grandpa.
DeleteYou both are making life grand for your grandchild. What memories you are building.
