My Grandma is great. She is funny, outgoing, and charismatic. However, she has yet to learn the basics of using Facebook. Being friends with my Grandma on Facebook has been a source of entertainment for me throughout the years.
When I began writing for the Odyssey, I decided to start saving her outlandish posts in hopes that I could share them. If I were to guess, she is probably not the only grandparent who could use a lesson on social media.
Here are a collection of a few of my Grandma's Facebook posts:
This is her status. Happy birthday Bob? Happy birthday Amanda? Who are you wishing a happy birthday to Grandma?
What six-year-olds even have Facebook?
Oh, there we go. She is wishing a happy birthday to Susan. Now we just need to get this post to be on Susan's page instead of my Grandma's public feed.
I hope you got the message, Flora. I for sure did!
Well Cal, that's just rude. Call my Grandma back.
See Cal, you should've called her back. My Grandma is a good time.
She posted this from the casino. Grandma, I think you should make sure you're wearing your glasses when you post.
Are you talking about your hairdo?
Uh, Grandma, I'm already on Facebook. I don't need the link to it.
OK, now I'm just concerned. Under what? Does this mean something and I just don't understand it yet? Are you hiding something, Grandma?
This is a nice message Grandma, but you have hundreds of friends who could have complimented you. I think you should try using this thing called Facebook Messenger.
These are my favorite. My Grandma has her doorman take pictures of her before she leaves her building. Honestly, she looks great and I think she knows it. You are rocking it, Grandma.
Grandma, I could teach you the basics of Facebook, but honestly, these make my day. Keep doing you, Grandma; and Cal, call her back!
