Crazy Relativescurvylittlegoth writes, "My Grandma is crazy, crazy mad. As well as regularly putting curses on us all, she once fell asleep in the armchair on a sunny afternoon, Barley Wine in one hand, Peter Stuyveson in the other, only to wake up several hours later to a Darth Vader sounding fireman. She thought she was in HELL as the smoke and flames billowed round her..."
Are any of your relatives this loopy?

Grandmothers...fucking hell...Mine is mentally possesive over me....she treats me like i am her only son, and if she had it her way i would live with her in her bungalow, sewing and watching countdown.
To be fair, she has her reasons. My Mum died when i was 4, and although my Dad is a proud man, he had to face up to the fact that he couldn't work full-time and be around to look after me all the time. So my grandma took care of me every night after school until my dad got home from work. Because of this she built up a huge sense of feeling needed and valued (which came as a refreshing change i think because she was, and still is, on the brink of divorce with my grandad, who only talks to her to complain about his dinner being shit lol).
I am now 19 years old, but she still sees me as her poor vulnerable little grandson who needs sheltering and nurturing and "has been through a rough start in life" as she always says. She rings our house to talk to me practically every night, and gets really upset when i'm not there or something. it's hard work keeping her happy, but i know i should because she probably hasnt got too long left, and after all she is really just doing what she thinks is best for me.
Could be worse...my mate's dutch grandmother has serious autseimers (can't spell) and, not remebering who he is every time he sees him, starts asking him in dutch (which he can't understand) if he can find her family for her. mental.
