Didn't your grandma told you that?

Yes Tomi, I have also remembered my Grand-Mother's advices! Though she has left us in 1985, but her repeating advices not to waste any food grain / food item during our meals have made me well alert at the time of eating or preparing food when necessary! This is a practice for me over many years from my childhood! She was regarding each food grain as Laxmi (the Goddess of Food, Prosperity and Wealth)! Our present world now requires proper use of food materials without wastage, by which more hungry people can be fed upon! In this context, I feel that my Garnd-Mother's advises were the most worthy and ideal! Thanks for this nice topic and let's follow our Grand-mother's advices for a better living!!

hahaha...it's funny sometimes to recall those weird things that our grandparents have told to us.. ^__^ My grandma is still living with us in our home...she always warn us not to take a bath whenever we have menstruation...ans she use not to take a bath too every Tuesday and Friday because as she told to us, there's a bad element around us that can harm us whenever we do things that we should not do. ^__^

My grandmother told me when I was a kid: "Do not eat while laughing," back when I was a kid does not care about the words of my grandmother, but after I was grown up now, I try to analyze the words of my grandmother is. I think my grandmother's words are true and must be obeyed, because if we are eating and laughing can be dangerous for us,choking and food can get into the lung cavity. So do not be considered trivial words of parents, because they have lots of experience than we do.

I was told exactly the same thing. I think there is some truth to all these wisdom that the elders told us. I'm sure they have benefitted from some of them and so they remembered it and pass it on. I grew up with my grandparents so they have told me a lot of things. I will follow if I find it reasonable. For instance, I'm not supposed to wash my hair after 7pm and we should not wash hands after applying medicated oil. Are these reasonable to you?

I used to lick a table knife that i used to eat steak when i was a little girl. i knew it was silly and it can hurt my tongue but i never stopped doing it. one night, my granny saw what i was doing so she got angry. she said, "don't lick that knife, because when you grow up, your tongue will be just "as sharp as the knife"..." i hope everybody understand what she meant here. so now i'm 20's, and i realise that my words when i'm angry and disliking something are quite hurtful to others. though i do believe that it is my behaviour due to my immaturity, but that never stopped me from remembering and thinking back what she said to me in the past. cheers

Man, there are heaps of things that my grandma has told me but I always listened and obeyed for she was an adult and I always listened and did what I was told anyways. Keeping myself warm was one thing that she told me to do. She always told me never to speak to strangers or jump into a car that I didn't know. I can not really remember anything else that she has told me. $-MrDollars-$

Hi, tomitomi. I can't quite remember everything that my grandmother told me. I loved talking to her and sharing many stories with her. I loved asking her questions about my dad, uncles and aunts. I enjoyed every minute of it. She was very sweet. If I learned anything from her, it would be to treat others as kind and loving as I should.

tomitomi! Your grandma asks you to cover the legs as it is more vulnerable to the weather change. You can directly sense the cold in your feet and so she insisted to do that. I don't have the chance to live with any of my grandmas but I can add one more thing to this. Just close your ears also with the blanket and you will not feel the cold.

My late grandma told me about our Balinese traditional stories. She told me many stories almost everyday when she was alive. The stories were about local genius. Actually, I didn't understand the meaning of the stories since I was a kid. I could understood after I grow up. The stories were about wisdom, honest, hard work and everything about life. Stories is used to teach me about life and this is more effective despite of any bored advice.

my grandma also taught the exact same thing that you said..lol but im still doing it till today...well i cant really recall what she told me coz its really a lot to mention lol...

Hi,tomitomi! I don't live with my grandma.And the early years when grandma took care of me are too long ago and I can't remember most of the things.But she did teach me to be kind to others and always have faith in myself.I think they are absolutely true. Old people have more experiences than we do.Many of the things they told us usually make sense.But something may not be true due to the change of the society. Anyway,their love for us is always true love. Have a nice day!

yah.. older age gives better experience. me also have grandma. and i always accepts her opinions. Any body is like me?
