For whatever reason, Chris Rock took his grandmother to sit courtside and watch the Knicks play the Pacers on Friday. Granny looks like she knows way more about sports than I do. She knows when to clap! I always clap at the wrong time. I’m all like “FUCK YEAH WHO’S BOSS NOW???” and whatever poor soul is at the game with me is like, “Uh, that was the other team scoring. Have another beer and shut up please.”
Grandparents are the cutest.
My grandfather actually sent a package of Hannukah gelt (and pens! Grandpa loves pens!) to Wendie’s kiddos, as promised, and she uploaded the video of them opening it to her personal website, and it was just so cute. I showed it to my grandfather today, and his face lit up. I wanted to make a video of my grandpa watching the video of Wendie’s kids opening his presents. Kind of like the reaction videos to the reaction videos to the 2 Girls 1 Cup thing, except with way less vomiting (and NO I AM NOT GOING TO LINK TO THAT MADNESS). Anyway, you can watch the vid of Wendie’s kids here. The whole thing is just unbelievably precious and I’m beside myself with the wonderfulness of grandparents and small children right now.
Oh, and also, Grandpa Sam is soooo excited about all the comments you guys left him on his birthday post. He was like “Did you see that I’m an international celebrity now? People left comments from other countries! You’ve made me a star overseas!” He was just so happy about all of it. My younger cousins, who are in high school right now, didn’t even know that he fought in the war, so they read it and were all like “Grandpa Sam fought in a war???” and it gave him an opportunity to regale these teenage boys with his war stories (“I lived in a tent for 18 months!”), and really everybody was just so delighted about the whole thing. So thank you, all of you guys, for the wonderful messages you left for Grandpa Sam. You really made this a special birthday for him, and I am forever indebted to you.
Oh my gosh, what a wonderful person Grandpa Sam appears to be. Love to Grandpa Sam from London, UK!
Also, Wendie is pretty :)
yeah
but the voice :O
Yup and all mine!! ;)
Thanks Grandpa Sam!!!!!!
P.S I’m a Celtics fan all the way! But it’s nice that Chris Rock took his nan to see the Knicks
Wendie’s kids are adorable!
And your Grandpa Sam seems like an amazing person!
I second that, he sounds awesome and I am tres jealous. I WANT HANUKKAH PENS! :D lol
Chris Rock – ROCKS!!!!. No smart ass comments this time. A funny dude who you never hear much shit about. He takes his Grandma to a game. How adorable.
P.S. What is the young dude behind grandma doing? Looking at the position of his right arm/hand and that fact that he is pursing his lips she may be in need of a wash and rinse after the game. If only his eyes were crossed the photographer might have caught the spew shot!
Wendie sounds like Sarah Palin lmao
I will now cut her more slack on her posts ;)
All my grandfathers died before I ever met them, one in WWII. Xs and Os and many thanks for sharing your memories of Gpa Sam! Greetings from Omaha!
Oh my, I’d rather watch 2 girls 1 cup than listen to Wendie’s voice, but her kids are super cute, like puppy cam cute.
yeah =D
Aww, your Grandpa Sam is the best, Beet. He’s just such a nice guy!

Love Chris Rock (and Grandma has “pump fat” :)
Love the Grandpa Sam thing
Love Wendie’s kids video – how cute!
Love (well like) Wendie’s voice & love that she snorts when she laughs
Haha I noticed the pump fat too! Am I weird for thinking that is adorable? Oh well.
Beet-
Grandpa Sam sounds like an amazing man :) You are one lucky granddaughter.
Wendie-
Your kids are so cute! I love that Jack had his sunglasses on upside down.
I assumed Zoey mentioned it because Chris Rock has a stand-up bit regarding pump fat (baked bread).
your grandpa is SO ADORABLE!! i have neither met him nor been a recipient of a gift from him (grrr @ wendie’s kids) but he just seems so sweet and funny! :)
Grandpa Sam is so sweet! I “awwwww”ed at his birthday post and am “awwww”ing right now hahah, you should get him to write down his tales of being in the war, it would be fascinating!
xox
I second that! I would love to hear a few stories about this right from Grandpa Sam’s mouth. Maybe some pics too Beet! Nothing like learning about the important things in life from someone who made history.
I love Chris Rock.
i love that gran has her pocketbook between her feet…my gran does that too.
Well, Grandpa Sam kicks serious ass. Why wouldn’t we leave him a ton of good birthday wishes?
In fact, I’d like Grandpa Sam to do a guest blog post from time to time. He’s a rockstar.
I second this.
I checked out wendie’s website and i just want to know, am i the only one that thinks wendie’s kinda hot for a mom? Just askin’.

LOVE wendie’s kids and grandpa sam!
I HEART SAM
