The Grand Mother of Gaffs

I’ve mentioned the Missus’s grandmother, Big Mama in the past, a few times. What I am about to offer, is by no means an acceptable tribute to mothers in the throes of child-rearing. Instead, it is a glimpse of what happens when you postpone your adolescence sixty years, it’s also pretty damn funny.

Big Mama was product of the depression era. She grew up in a large family in a small town. When she was fifteen she eloped with a tall handsome red head. They were so fearful of their actions that they each went to the respective homes and did not tell their families for a week. It was a different time then. When she was sixteen, she gave birth to her first child. Yeah, children having children. She and the handsome red head raised three well adjusted, thoughtful, young women together. They worked hard together and had a nice life.

After spending years as a role model, Big Mama begin letting go of the restraint and formality that confine adults, especially dignified adults. As a teenager, the Missus noticed that Big Mama was quite a flirtatious woman. She enjoyed making physical contact with men, and women, but mostly men. Hugging, kissing on the cheek, shoving, touching the shoulder etc.

On the occasion in question, Big Mama was shopping at the local mall, and spied her grandson entering a store, The County Seat. She immediately followed, but lost sight of him in the clothes racks. Spying a tall young man, she walked behind him and grabbed a hand-full of ass. The young man looks down at her absolutely bumfucked and this young man was not HER grandson. Her grandson was at another rack of clothes laughing at her expense. Grandson walked over and formally introduces himself, and Big Mama to the shocked stranger. Everyone shared a good a laugh, and no sexual assault charges were filed.

Months later, Grandson saw Shocked Stranger at the community college. Shocked Stranger called out to him, “I remember you. You grandmother felt me up at the County Seat.”

Happy Mother’s Day!

    meno, : ). When he went out to pick a little something up, he had no idea what he was in for.

  3. Cat Says:

    That is AWESOME! Bet Grandson still blushes when he remembers that. :-)

    I can’t stop laughing…Oh what I would pay to have seen that. The Missus Grandma is certainly one character.

  5. Joan Says:

    What a hilarious story and a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day.

  6. patches Says:

    Cat, the grandson doesn’t blush as much as he brags at her expense.

    Lynn, this is just another reason why it is important to laugh at ourselves.

    Joan, this is a favorite memory. As out-spoken as Big Mama is, I’m sure there will more of these moments in her future.

    Feeling up college boys sounds like the perfect Mother’s Day activity. I’m going to have to go seek some out. And you’re saying this isn’t considered dignified? Are you sure?

  11. patches Says:

    sari, I believe if you inquired about the incident to her directly her response would be, “I’m old not dead.”

    Maggie, I should clarify. It’s only undignified if you don’t get away with it.

    Hmmmm…are we SURE she thought it was her grandson? Big Mama sounds pretty sly…

  13. patches Says:

    Nancy, that was her story, but you’ve got me wondering….

    That does it! I’m gonna go to the County Seat! (rubbing my hands to warm them for a little butt-grabbin’….)

    Nice, I like this story. What kind of establishment was County Seat?

    P.S. hey, I loved your take on my baby name post last week. You’re pretty crafty Patches.

  16. patches Says:

    mona, I believe they have a size for everyone.

    egan, its a clothing chain that specializes in blue jeans and casual shirts. I like how you strung us along on the baby naming. Far more addictive than the Bachelor.

    I feel like I’ve seen a Country Seat store somewhere. Maybe on one my trips to the Chicago area. I’m glad you liked the baby name stuff. I need to find a new baby gimmick to keep the masses entertained.
