My grandmother had a way with words; in fact there are some things that she's said that are legend in the family. We refer to them as Grannyisms. One of my favorites occurred as we drove through the cemetery to see my grandfather's grave. The surrounding graves were familiar family names as well, but there were two names that Granny didn't recognize.
"Who are those people, there?" she asked.
My mother replied, "Remember their family didn't have enough money for a plot so you gave them two of yours."
My grandmother shook her head a bit, "Hmmph, guess I wasn't such a tight-ass after all."
Now, that's what we call a Grannyism.
