Did you get any traits from your grandparents that skipped over your parents?

My mom takes herself a little too seriously sometimes. My grandmother, on the other hand, does not. She unintentionally makes us howl with laughter fairly often, but she never gets upset. Once we can finally breathe enough to tell her why we are laughing, she starts laughing, too.

There are a million examples, but the one that immediately comes to mind is the first time I brought my now-husband over to meet her and Grandpa. She was trying to be “good” and didn’t want to curse. She took it a little far when she was going to say “Saddam” and said “Sadang” instead. My husband (boyfriend at the time) tried SO hard not to laugh. Bless his heart. :)

I guess I got my ability to laugh at myself from Grandma.
