Well, my stepmother was right - this is way too funny to keep to myself. It would be simply greedy to not share:

quote:
A teenage granddaughter comes downstairs for her date with a very sheer blouse on and no bra. Her grandmother just pitched a fit, telling her not to dare go out like that! The teenager tells her "Loosen up Grams. These are modern times. You gotta let your rose buds show!" and out she goes.

The next day the teenager comes down stairs, and the grandmother is sitting there with no top on. The teenager wants to die. She explains to her grandmother that she has friends coming over and that it is just not appropriate...

The grandmother says, "Loosen up, Sweetie. If you can show off your rosebuds, then I can display my hanging baskets."

Yep, KQ - that's about what I did when I first read it. *grin*

When I was really little, the word my grandma used to refer to them actually *was* rosebuds! [Smile]

Rivka. You naughty girl. You just gave away the ending.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

The ending was "hanging baskets." Weren't you paying attention?
