1. You own multiple Grandma Sweaters
Big, oversize, somewhat tacky, knitted sweaters that look like something your grandmother would wear. You are probably a millennial grandma if your favorite comfy, lounge-around-the-house outfit is a pair of leggings, fuzzy socks, and a grandma sweater
2. You ALWAYS have a blanket
You are probably a millennial grandma if you always have a blanket on, even if you aren’t necessarily cold. You might have a hoard of blankets in your home. When you go stay the night at someone else’s house, you might always bring your own blanket just in case the home owner doesn’t have enough available for you.
3. New technology is hard for you
You are probably a millennial grandma if you have a hard time working the DVD player or installing your new printer. You might get excited about new technology, but figuring out how to use it is the hard part. Luckily you can simply explain to tech-savvy people that you are a millennial grandma, and they should be able to help you out.
4. You often fall behind on social media trends
If you are just now thinking Ju-Ju on that Beat is a cool dance, you might be a millennial grandma. You might have Urban Dictionary installed on your phone to help you decode the hip-young lingo your millennial peers are saying.
You might be a millennial grandma if someone had to explain to you why people kept posting about “L’s” on Twitter. (A.k.a. me)
5. You have a candy jar in your room
Every grandma I ever met had a plate or jar of candy easily accessible in her home. If you have enough self-control to dump candy out of a bag, put it into a jar in your room, and possibly even share your candy, you might be a millennial grandma.
6. You are kind of senile
If you constantly find yourself losing things that are right in front of your face, you might be a millennial grandma.
7. You get excited for old fashioned desserts
If desserts with Jello and pretzels are kind of your favorite, you might be a millennial grandma.
8. You like to wear big jewelry
If big statement pieces are your favorite, you might be a millennial grandma. Large earrings and chunky necklaces are making a fashion comeback.
9. You love reminiscing on the good old days
If you are a sentimental person who loves to collect souvenirs from small life events such as movie tickets, birthday cards, etc., you might be a millennial grandma. Maybe you find yourself to be the storyteller of the group of your friends, “Remember that time we …”
10. You are kind of looking forward to retirement
Of course you love being young and healthy with your whole life ahead of you, but sometimes you look forward to being a grandma with a sweet, old husband who flies to Florida every winter to escape the cold weather. If you are maybe, just kind of looking forward to retirement, you are probably a millennial grandma.
