Granny comes to London,

I wanted to write a poem to celebrate the occasion but I decided that too much had to be said so I settled for a post.
My gran is her late 80's and she's the coolest octogenrian I know. Probably the only one I know.lol. She lives in Nigeria, but she's over for my aunt's wedding which is gonna be in early September. My uncle and aunt and their 3 year old son came over with my gran so we got a pretty full house at the moment.
In terms of personality, my gran is funny, talkative, yet sometimes stilly silent, wise, intelligent and strong and strict when she needs to be. With respect to the strict bit, my little cousin is on the rear end of that a lot. She often talks about giving him a spanking at least twice a day. Josh is a nice kid and I love him to bits,but he's got his moments. He's a bit of a troublemaker and a cry baby. He cries for his mummy and daddy,when he doesnt get his own way and when he gets a spanking. I cant fault him on the last point. I guess a spanking aint really effective until someone's crying. Preferably the victim. Dont get me wrong I aint advocating physical abuse, just a little spanking. I got it as a kid and I am ok, I think I am anyways.
Anyway getting back to my gran, she's a grandmother and a great grandmother. I think I have like 25 cousins and 6 second cousins. I am too tired to count them out so I'll approximate.Yeah, I also got 6 aunts and one uncle. I think that my mum told me that they lost 2 siblings at a young age, so they aint included in the total above.
In closing, my gran rocks and I am enjoying having her stay with us. She's very independant but she needs help stepping over the edge of pavements and carrying stuff, but I dont mind. Thats cool.

Chow,

Keeks
