7 Signs Your Grandpa Is Your Best Friend

Ahh, Papa's.. Gods gift to us grandchildren. Whether he is still around or has passed away, if you can relate to any of these, the man might just be or was your long lost best friend.


1. You sneak him snacks that grandma doesn't allow him to have.

I know she does it for health reasons but what's 1..maybe 2... alright 4 slices of pizza gonna hurt???

2. He buys you things your parents wouldn't, even if it was "just a phase".

Ok, so maybe he forgot you're left handed and he bought the right handed bow, but it's the thought that counts....even though he was right. It was a two week phase.

3. Listening to him hum/sing/make up the word to hymns on Sunday morning is your main source of comedy.

So yeah, basically.

4. YOU DON'T TELL GRANDMA ABOUT THOSE WILD TEEN STORIES HE'S TOLD YOU. OK???

Now if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret then. Just keep that "geez, I don't know what happened after that" story between the two of you.

5. You don't have to say a word, you just know what each other is thinking.

WE SURE CAN READ MINDS! We don't even have to say where we're eating lunch, we know Hardee's is the go-to.

6. He doesn't hate you, he just hates your tattoo!

Grandma: "I think it's cute, I like it. Did it hurt?"

Papa: "No it's not cute, it's ugly. What were you thinking?!"

7. Your phone calls are either 30 seconds or 30 minutes, there is no in between.

Sometimes it's a simple and quick "are you coming to church this week" and sometimes he just calls to tell you the whole history of the Great Depression or how mad a cashier made him. I suggest listening to the mad cashier story though, it's pretty great, Papa is a savage.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
