Expressions that make you happy

"Alright lovely Mum". Never hear it now.

Sarahellen, thats so funny. The worst response I’ve had when at DHs work function recently & when asked my children’s ages by another one of the wives attending was & I quote
“ you must have been married at 16” I love your second response. I’m going to keep it in mind. Thanks!

Mine is simply Thank you, that was lovely

An expression that used to make me happy but I won’t hear again - “Glad you’re home safely, I really enjoyed our day together.” This happened when I used to phone my dear friend Jean after driving home from a day spent with her. Jean died in October 2017 and I miss her so much.

Expressions I still hear said to their Mum or Dad, from GD, 9 and GS, 8. “ Call us when Nan is going home because we want to say goodbye”. They spend increasing amounts of time in their bedrooms but still want to see me for a hug and a kiss before I head home.

‘love you, I’m off out, will be back home in a few hours’ is music to my ears. It’s just been said by my youngest who is home for Christmas ❤️

What a thoroughly unpleasant man holdingontomyteeth is.

We are not married by any chance, are we?

Don't worry Nana, I'll help you (from my 3 year old Grandson)

Fourormore...if I had a 15 year old grandson who asked that lovely question it would definitely make my day.

‘Thank you Mum, talking to you has calmed me down and made me feel so much better about things, as usual. “
This from my son the other day.

Son to Grandson, Nanny gives the best hugs ever, especially when your poorly

From DH 'youre not fat'
From teenage granddaughter 'you are the nicest person I know' and 'Can I pop in nan?

Might seem rather odd to some, but it made my day:

Five year old grandson to his mummy, "Which granny is coming, is it Granny 'J' or Granny with the rules?"
Mummy, "Granny with the rules." (That would be me.)
Grandson, "Oh, cool."

As I now live with my DD and her family my other AC and GC visit here. One of the DGD I live with was heard to say as one visit ended “I’m glad I’m the cousin that got the grandma to live with”. Makes all the noise and chaos of life with two little ones worthwhile.

"Your eyes are like shiny wet conkers, Grandma"

"Grandma, you've had your hair cut."
Me: "Yes, it had gone wispy on the ends."
"But Grandma, I liked those wispy bits!"

‘Would you like to eat with us?’ From lovely daughter in law who understands how seriously tired I am of cooking.

I love you Grandad,and I'm so happy when you spent time with me. From my 4 year old granddaughter. I'm lucky that I see her most days.

As my little DGD said as she was leaving today.Bye bye Grandma.I will come again soon.
And I will see her again tomorrow. Lucky me.

My 8 year old DGS (who lived with me for most of the first 7 years with his mum my DD3) said to me just before Christmas “all of the good things about me Grandma are because of you” made my day! but very teary ?

You’re the best best Granny in the world - DGD.
I’ll bring one (new recipe) the next time we come - DDiL.
Thanks Mum - DS.
Thankyou for all you’ve done for me - DD.

Back home after declining an invitation to remain for an after dinner celebration. Leaving it to the young ones ?Tuned in to see latest in ‘expressions that make you happy’ I think 2019 is going to be the year for all of you with so much love for your grandchildren.My heart is melting ? such lovely expressions of love.

From four years old DGD:
“I do love you Nanny, and I don’t mind you being a bit ugly!”

"Hallo Mum" .. phone call from my daughter

Sluttygran, that’s hilarious ?

DGS at age 3 looking & staring at at a tiny mole on my neck & saying “what’s that” I tell him & he runs away in horror ? off now & happy new year to you all xx

My grandson - "Grandma, you really crack me up" and "Grandma, I'm so glad you know about football, no-one else does and I need to talk about it".

One of my DGDs, at family get-together last Saturday: "Grandma, this is just the best chocolate cake in the world, ever".

From my DH: "Your silver hair is so beautiful".
