Grampy Sayings
I will have to add to this when they come to mind as they often do. And Happy Birthday Grampy! You would have been 105 years old today. đ đ đ
Oh dear bread and beer, if I were dead, I wouldnât be here.

One time, my husband and I were visiting Grampy and Grandma with our young children. Kate, true to form was acting up and misbehaving. She was encouraging Grampy to join the flies unzipped club as she was flauntingly zipping and unzipping her pants while repeatedly saying, âZip zip, zip zip, tushie, tushie. Grampy, join the flies unzipped club. Just unzip your flyâ. This was her great grandfather she was speaking to. I was mortified. I told her in no uncertain terms that her behavior was not OK and that she needed to stop immediately. She was in her out of control mode, and my words had no effect. I told her father that he also needed to make this understood to her. Her father was of no help whatsoever as he told her that she needed to stop, but then kept cracking up and laughing about it himself. I was livid. I told him that none of it was ok and that we needed to leave immediately. I told him to get our things as I apologized to my grandmother and said, âIâm sorry, but Kate is not behaving and we are going to have to leaveâ. As we were in the driveway and I was dealing with getting Kate into the car, Grampy said to my husband, âYouâve got problemsâ. I was still mortified. My husband always remembered this and thinks that it was Grampyâs best line ever.
