Grandmother – the original Grammy Award
It’s 3 months until Mothers Day, and 7 months until Grandparents Day. So we figure it’s time to have a celebration to highlight Grammies. Here is your chance to nominate your Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Grammy, Grandma, Nana, Grannie, Oma, Tutu, or Abuela for the original Grammy Award! Just for fun.
Rules for making your nomination
- The nominee must be a real person, a grandmother; and someone who is your own grandmother, or “adopted” grandmother, mother, or wife; who you know personally. (Either still living, or passed on.)
- One entry per comment. If you want to nominate more than one of your grandmothers, create separate comments for each.
- No men allowed! Sorry, this time it’s just for grandmas.
- You must tell why your grandmother deserves to win your Grammy Award. And don’t just say because you love her or she’s nice. Come on. Be specific. Give us details. Use as many tautologically long-winded ramblings as you like. Hey, no need to be brief here. Superfluously interminable wordiness is fine. Go ahead and write with pleonastically redundant verbosity.
- Be gushy and mushy if you want, but be real and tell the truth. Your grandma may seem like Superwoman to you, but can she really fly?
Grandma always made you feel she had been waiting to see just you all day and now the day was complete. ~Marcy DeMaree

Comments on Grandmother – the original Grammy Award
I get to be first, so I nominate Grammy Tanda Packer because I love her and she’s nice.
But also because she’s a hi-tech grammy who loves to find fun ways to stay in touch with her 8 grandchildren. She reads them stories on a video chat. And she’s writing a children’s book for them.
I nominate my Grandma Shirley Nelson. She is over 80 years old, runs her own real estate brokerage, and has helped ALL of her grandchildren with their real estate transactions for FREE. We bought our first house when we first got married and she did all the work for us and then wrote us a check for her commission which helped us to pay for all the renovations the house needed before we could move in. It was such a blessing as newlyweds to be able to have that kind of gift.
Grandma Shirley is also an email fanatic. She sends around every sappy story, funny picture, and hoax that comes across the Internet. You can always count on receiving 3-5 emails from her every day. Even though they are silly it’s nice to know she is thinking about us and wanting to stay in touch. Grandmas are the best!
I nominate my Abuelita, because she is always calling to check on us. She calls all her kids and grandkids everyday to see how everyone is doing and if everyone had a good day at work.
She lives in a retirement community and is always helping out her neighbors. She puts everyone else first and she is a short sweet little abuelita.
Very humorous cartoon. My grandmother loved her lawn but did not get upset when I took out some grass with the mower by accident.
It’s amazing when you think about it how much we take our grandparents for granted as we grow up. When you can really start appreciating them it almost seems too late. Good call on a “Grammy” award.
I nominate my Grandma Albina.. she was a soft spoken person, lovable and very sweet that’s why i love her very much.
I nominate my dearest Mom. Though she is a grandmother already, she remains the coolest Mom to me and the nicest grandma to her granddaughters and grandson. She is so caring and thoughtful that is why we love her so much. Glad to have her around!
