Can A Grandma Be a Sorority Girl?
For those of you who read my blog this summer (when I became “Grandma” to a dog), this is an update…..my daughter has just told me that she and her husband are expecting their first child next July!!!! This makes me a “REAL” grandma or almost one.
My friends (who are already grandmas) have told me that “Grandmas” are all members of a very elite sorority (Gamma Gamma Got Gum) and have invited me to pledge. Since I am still a pledge, I do not have certain member privileges like bragging and showing pictures. I am however, expected to make sensitive and caring comments like “oh, what a cute face, has she always had that funny shaped head?” and “It’s okay, I am sure spit-up won’t stain my new outfit!”. My soon-to-be sorority sisters have informed me that my tactfulness in making comments about grandchildren does need some work. But, I am being considered for membership and that is what counts, right?.
