Old People SAy fuckin awesome shit!

What is the greatest advice/opinion/phrase an old person has said to you?

 

I've never heard an old person say the phrase "Fuckin awesome shit", although if I did I would laugh.

 

my mans 70+ yr old grams smokes with us and just her with a joint is enough to make you want her as your grams aside from the things she says!

 

best advice my mother ever gave me :

"never snort anything generic"
"never be sad, be mad because its more fun"
"abort that shit"

yeah, shes quite poetic.

 

Right on ... thats some good shit.

 

Once I asked my Great Uncle what we (all us kids) could do for fun. He said "Why don't you choose up sides and smell armpits." It was funny at the time.

 

My grandpa once said to me through tears, during a commercial break for Maury:
"Don't stand in a bathtub and blowdry your hair."

Words to live by.

 

this is perhaps a little more sentimental...but this old lady I met and talked to for a few hours one day told me all about traveling the world and dancing on far away beaches and all the things she'd done and people she'd met in her adventures. And she just told me how excited she wasfor me for all the things I will go through in my life, and how happy she was to have gone through them and how happy she is now to get ot settle down and reflect on her experiences and get to watch other people just starting their own journeys...

I thought it was pretty beautiful...

 

When Daniel and I went to start a cell phone plan a little over a year ago, this old lady asked us if we were married. Daniel said we were on our way there, but not quite yet, and she said we just looked so happy and fresh, like newlyweds. She said she could tell just by looking at us that she'd want people like us for her neighbors. It was perhaps the greatest compliment I've ever gotten.

 

My grandfather offered me some advice a few years ago before he passed away "Never get Old"
