Years ago, Rob came home shouting, "Mom, you've got to hear this new song on the radio! It's so funny, I want to Grandma to hear it!" He drove me nuts listening until it came on again. When I heard, Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer . . . . I just about died. I told that it wasn't funny and he better not have her listen to it.
Well, Grandma Jeanne came for a pre-Christmas visit and my awful son made sure she got to hear it. I heard her absolutely belly laughing in the other room, went to see what was up (I should have known, I suppose, and there was the song playing on the radio. have I mentioned that I made out like a bandit in the in-law department? I couldn't believe she thought it was that funny. She was married to a real nut for over 18 years before he passed away, but really!
Well last year, I was shopping for my annual contribution to every one's holiday cheer (AKA a noisy toy). I was going up and down the aisles starting all the different toys . . . squeezed the front hoof of these little reindeer . . . and absolutely died laughing . . . . . other people in the aisle thought I had lost my marbles. I shared the family history about that song and then they were all laughing too.
So Grandma, you were right, some day has come, I have "grown" up or gotten older and you are right . . . it is a pretty funny song!
Arianna showed up at my house this morning toting this little guy . . . . . I still think it is funny as all get out!!
