We’ve all heard of the mom friend. Even the dad friend. But am I the grandma friend? Probably. I love grandmas. My driver's license says 20 but my heart says 80. There are a ton of reasons I could be the grandma friend, but here are 10 reasons to validate my grandma-likeness.
1. Bedtime
I am LITERALLY in bed by 8 or 9 every night.
2. Only comfy clothes for this girl
Practical and pretty, that's my motto.
3. NAPS!
Ahhh, my favorite hobby. I love naps. I nap... a lot. It could be 2 p.m. or 6 p.m., if I can snooze for a couple of minutes, then I'm definitely doing it.
4. I’m seriously worn out by 4 p.m.
Then I want dinner at 4 pm., and yes, I if I could, would totally want the senior discount. I mean, if you could get a generous discount AND you get to eat at like 4 p.m., wouldn't you? If you're reading this and you do get that senior discount....eat that second piece of pie for me, please.
5. Shoes
Who needs heels when there are sensible slippers AMIRITE?!?!?!
6. Music
Post Malone who? More like 'leave me mAlone'.
7. The new slang
Lit? Bae? Fleek? Snatched? What? And why do we keep adding 'balls' to the end of the word? What actually qualifies as 'amazeballs'?
8. Technology
Alexa scares me. I talk to myself as much as the next person, but isn't it so weird to have someone respond to you? However, Alexa is ~pretty~ nice to me, and she's a good listener. Just sayin'.
9. Food
I'll always make sure you’re fed, because I'm always baking cookies. Am I a stress baker? Probably. Who doesn't love a warm cookie?
10. How I actually think about kids
*Sees someone 2 years younger than me* "Awe! Lil' baby! S'cute!"
Being a granny isn't a bad thing. First of all, the senior discount rocks. And I love wearing my leggings and t-shirts with some comfy sneakers! Sensible can still be sexy. Honestly, I totally love being in bed at 9 p.m. Besides, everyone needs their beauty sleep, right?? So, if you're the grandma friend, OWN IT!
