When we were kids, my friend Rey and I got a kick out of responding to each others question about speed with, “Grandma at the speed of fast!!” We would laugh, snort, point at each other, and go on with our “serious” games. Upon reflection, I think we meant that the speed at which we were doing the task or playing the game, was slow, but determined. Grandma’s don’t tend to go too fast and unlike grandpa’s in our mind, they got to their destination safely. Maybe there are some truly speedy grandma’s out there, but we weren’t talking about those master’s athletes.
- Get there safely, as quickly as you can.
- Bring cookies along for the journey.
- And, dress like Grandmama (ie. and dunk on fools with Steve Urkel)
