She just closed an email to me with this one. I’m not sure how to feel about this.

Send her a weird one back. End that conversation and nip it in the bud.

Edit: don't search "weird" on giphy.  I need counseling now

We were discussing my Snowmageddon post, which I shared with her since the lives in New Hampshire where, you know, it actually snows. She closed her email like this:

Oh! And speaking of water, if you’re buying supplies, DON’T FORGET THE WATER! Buy at least three cases. Better yet, buy every bottle in the store. Your own family comes first!!

That is excellent. Encourage her, keep it going strong.

I’m certainly not going to discourage her.

Wow, and I didn’t even know she represented the LBC.

L ook, any grandma who enjoys “ Gin and Juice” is a good grandma.

It could be worse. I discovered that someone made a sticker (not a GIF, sadly) of this in Telegram and now EVERYBODY is getting Hasselhoff’d.

Except she’s my mom. But point taken.

Ack! Fair, I’m going off of an hour of sleep today and it’s catching up. (Also, my mom always got mistaken for my grandma when I was a kid, so I should know better. Especially when it’s right there in the text.)
