Attack of the Grandmothers

Two grandmother incidents took place this weekend:

1. Last night while Sister, Sister's Husband, and I drove Bubbe home from dinner, she randomly launched into a raunchy Yiddish ditty that roughly translates into:
Hurry before my ass gets cold
and while my front is wet,
but no one wants to have sex with me
because I'm old.
I'm sure this makes much more sense in Yiddish (which I did write down, just in case), but we found it pretty hilarious. And disturbing.

2. Tonight I went with my mother over to my grandma's house. As they were crabbing at each other, my grandmother told my mom she was a putz and then also muttered, "Cunt." I didn't hear it, but my mom got mad and then my granny said, "She always gets mad when I say cunt." I pointed out that most people don't like being called a cunt, and she looked at me as though I were on crack.

Family.

  1. I met a Scottish guy who claimed (and I assume he wasn't putting me on) that in Scotland, "cunt" is the verbal equivalent of "guy" or an informal term for any person.

    "Oh, yeah, I'd call me own granny a cunt and no one would bat an eye," he said.

  3. Speaking of cunts, I thought I would post the quote from Augusten Burroughs' Running with Scissors that I told you about. This is describing how one of the characters knew she had a yeast infection: "Jesus Christ. My cunt looks like it's been brushing its teeth. It's just foaming at the mouth."

    For the record, I have heard your Granny say the word cunt before too. We were in the car coming back from somewhere.

  6. I agree with dr.p. There is definitely a genetic link between you and granny/bubbe.
