grandma

When you think of cross stitch (or any type of embroidery), you probably picture a sweet little old grandma sitting in a rocking chair, creating something wholesome. And it's almost definitely Jesus related. But these rude cross stitches certainly weren't made by grandmas. And if they were, sign me up to be their granddaughter! Scroll through these less-than-wholesome embroideries and laugh. Would you hang any of these up in your house?

Gone are the days when supermarkets need to use million-dollar advertising campaigns to get their name out there. Some are going for more of a personal approach in getting the job done, like Walmart North East in Maryland. They have started to use an employee of the branch - Charlene - to pose with different products and then posting her photos on their Facebook page. The pictures are hilarious because Charlene's moody expression is in juxtaposition to her laid-back attitude. The supermarket branch has even started a petition for Ellen Degeneres to host Charlene on her show, and you can sign the petition here.

Grandparents are a blessing and anyone who still has a grandma or grandpa who is alive should take advantage of every minute they spend together.

Here are some funny and relatable grandma memes that you'll love.

I am a pasta lover. Personally, I consider it the food of the gods and I eat it at least three times a week, in all its glorious variations. Sadly, pasta has become somewhat of a commodity nowadays, since supermarket shelves are being cleared out due to panic-buying. The silver lining? Now is the perfect time to try and make your own, especially with all this extra time on our hands. Yes, you could follow a recipe book, but what if you could take a live-streaming video class from an 84-year-old Italian nonna, using a generations-old recipe? Well luckily for you, you can! Nonna Nerina (Nonna means grandma in Italian), who usually hosts pasta-cooking classes in her home is now running them online due to the coronavirus containment measures in Italy and it's wonderful. Forget your online fitness classes; this is much more fun! Here's how it works...

Today's generation has grown up with view their mobile phones (and all technology, really), as an essential part of who they are; like another limb. They don't know life without it and would struggle if it became obsolete. But that means the older generation has no choice but to learn how to use them too if they have any hope of keeping in touch with their family. Since mobile phones don't come as second nature to them, there is a learning and adjusting period and sometimes, that is a hilarious process. Here are some texts that people have received from their grandparents, which will make you laugh, saw "awww" and sigh all at the same time as the older folk try to navigate the world of technology. Hey, at least they're trying!

But sometimes grandmothers can be the ruthless of them all... because they just don't care and we love it! Grandmothers that don't have a filter might be the best thing you'll read today! 

Who said that the young rule the internet? 89 years old Japanese grandma, Kimiko Nishimito, actually never knew she loved photography and that she was pretty good at it until the age of 72. Her son was teaching a class about photography and she decided to join in and listen. From that moment on, she found out not only that she loves to take pictures and goof around, but that she actually handles the camera better than most. Ever since, she has been taking hilarious selfies that won the internet and even got her a solo exhibition at a museum in her home town of Kumamoto.
