before you know it I'll transcribe the whole thing but I wanted to share this excerpt:

*sitting down* So, what's on the agenda today?

Well Grandma, I wanted to tell you about where I am in my life right now and where I'm headed but my past is a big part of why I am where I am and none of what I'm about to tell you would make any sense without the big piece of the puzzle. I'm gay.

Mijo, I know. I don't care if you're black, brown, purple or green. I care about whether or not you're a good person. In all the places, and all the years and all the people nobody, not one single person has ever had anything bad to say about you. Never. Only and ever good things. That says to me that you are a good person.

Everyone has different views on everything in life. Look at us in this house. We all live together and yet we will see everything differently no matter what the issue. As long as you know who you are, you will be alright.

You mean she had no clue!!!!???

You mean she had no clue!!!!???

Okay, how tacky is it of me to be sitting here choping at the bit, waiting for the full manifesto to arrive??? !!!

Oh, true story. When I was 6 months old, my Aunt Sandy told my mom "He's gay". My mom flipped a gasket but guess who was right! I asked my aunt how she could tell. She said she just knew. I'm from a family of witches!

um...

I so happy for you Supa!! and your grandma sounds fantastic

OMG, this story!!!

So we got to talking about Bingo.... She doesn't always come because she might not feel up to it but the last time she was there I walked over and gave her a hug and asked how she was feeling. She was having one of those bad days (she has cancer) but wanted to get out of the house and stay in her routine.

So I hug her and then go to my seat and the lady across from her is just staring and finally asks:

Do you know him?

Then before my grandma can respond, my grandma's friend says:

Oh, that's her boyfriend

My grandma said that the lady's jaw dropped and that she literally stopped breathing.

What?! WHAT?! What do you mean her boyfriend?

Oh yeah, they've been together for 2 years now

My grandmother said this lady's head was popping off her body. she thought I was a giggolo She was just jealous cuz my grandma has it like that


to explain further, my dad's side of the family is Mexican and since I took more after the English side of my mom's family, people are always trying to figure out my connection to them. Nobody ever guesses we're related.

Another time at Bingo I needed the powerball to win and I was sitting with my grandparents and said "grandma look, I just need the powerball to win".

When the game was over the lady across says:

How cute. He called you grandma.



Yeah, that's cuz she's my grandma!

My grandmother replies:

I am?!

That's funny. Some people just assume you're not related because of your looks. Did your grandma say anything to the person that said, "how cute...."?
