Happy Birthday, Nagymama!

nagysteph_350 Over the weekend (April 5th to be exact), Nagymama celebrated her 98th birthday! We had to tell her in every language she speaks to make sure she knew we were HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY:

Happy Birthday! (English)
Boldog születésnapot! (Hungarian)
La mulţi ani! (Romanian)
Alles gute zum Geburtstag! (German)
Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je vejaardag! (Dutch)

Since it's impossible for everyone to reach out and say "Happy Birthday" to our 4 ft x 4 ft cube of adorable granny, please celebrate her birthday by taking a moment to call your own grandma or grandpa. If you don't have a grandparent,  perhaps you should give your parent a ring if you haven't talked to them in a while, or do something really nice for an old lady at the grocery store.

Get off your fanny and talk to your granny!

And if she says something interesting, please post it here :)

Probably touched kitty litter and did not wash their hands.  Do you know anyone that has ridiculous theories?

Quick Bite: Wives’ Tale #6 – Gypsies

So that gypsies would not push me into their car and sell me into prostitution.  Did your family ever have insane paranoia?

Quick Bite: Wives’ Tale #5 – Kidneys

kidneyNagymama always lifted my shirt up in public...
To make sure I was wearing an undershirt so I wouldn't catch a "kidney cold".  What did your family always do to you that was embarrassing in public?

Quick Bite: Wives’ Tale #4 – Perfume

perfumeAnyu always said that you will become allergic to perfume...
If you spray yourself with it while talking at the same time.  Did your family ever blame an illness on something random?
