We had so much fun (us grown-up kids) coming up with those verses on Sunday night!  Looking at the list, I guess we all really appreciated Grandma's taste in food!  And don't worry, Grandma never took us out to the woodshed to swat us - it was just something she always said to make us laugh nervously.  And I don't know where to put the "n's" in bananna.  Oh, and Dan sung solo every time it came to 5 swats at the woodshed

How fun! I think we always associate food with our grandmas for some reason:) It sounds like you all had a really good time remembering your grandma last weekend.
