I was sitting in the Kitchen with my grandma - watching Christmas movies on Hallmark.
Aside from the fact that all of their movies are about white, straight couples and their parents, I was crying that what's-her-face's father decided to stick around. Talk about internal triggers manifesting itself outwardly. So I look over at my grandma - who is ALSO crying and realize I have basically turned into her.
Here are the six signs that you have turned into a grandma.
1. You try to feed everyone
Someone at work forgot to bring a lunch and doesn't have any money? No problem, you already have a slew of snacks for them to choose from. Your best friend has been eating cabbage (*cough* Sharon *cough*) for a week because they don't get paid enough and have too many bills? No issue - you order them some pizza and make sure they get some food in their fridge.
2. You take naps
Not only do you relish these naps, you take them randomly while watching Netflix or reading. This can also be associated with being a baby... just accept it.
3. Views on children are skewed
You either think kids are the greatest joy life has even given you or you think they should all be blasted to Mars. "Kids these days.." And yet, they seem to be the future, so you're constantly feeling conflicted about your own feelings... which of course, is confusing as Hell.
4. Online shopping & shopping channels
You suddenly have the QVC, HSN, EVINE, and JTV apps on your phone, not to mention that you have exclusively been in a long-term relationship with Amazon Prime and Groupon. "OMG, stretch pay is so cheap, I couldn't pass up this awesome deal - [name] will LOVE this gift for Christmas." (not to mention it's probably June so you're PRE-purchasing for Christmas)
5. You always seem to have candy/snacks in your bag
My desk is stocked with an excessive amount of candy and snacks for not only myself but also for co-workers in the event they want it. Not to mention that I keep candy in my purse as a JIC type thing. It's basically everywhere.
6. So much crying
Hallmark is on TV and you can't help by silently sob while watching the straight, white couple get their Happily Ever After - whatever that entails. Saw a cute animal either in person or on TV? CUE THE TEARS. Seriously - so many feels.
Embrace your Grandma status and push forward!
