Tribute to grandmothers… to all grandmothers!
When you ask a child, "What's the most important thing in life after a mom?" they answer... And after a dad?... After a puppy? There you go! They all unanimously reply, "My grandma!" And it's true, a grandma is essential. But is there only one type of grandma? No, ma'am, there are grandmas for every taste. A tribute!
Grandma's Cake
Surrounded by toddlers who haven't yet worried about their cholesterol levels, Grandma has owned a deep fryer her whole life. Capable of making any compromise to please her little ones, she's a kind of everyday Santa Claus. Present, reassuring, generous, and rather permissive, she showers them with hugs and kisses. She's a rock of love for her grandchildren, who sometimes find in her the attention they don't always get from their own parents.
The strict granny
The "strict" grandma adores her grandchildren, of course, but is afraid of spoiling them too much and turning them into unruly little rascals. Above all, she feels she has a vital mission: to perfect their upbringing. She'd rather set herself on fire in Place Vendôme than let her own flesh and blood put her feet on the subway seats, her elbows on the table, or leave food on her plate. Otherwise, it's an ocean of love, and she's just bought a deep fryer, after all.
The modern granny
Have you ever seen a video of a bulldog skateboarding online? No? She has. Always connected to her grandkids via Facebook, Twitter (10 followers, 4 of whom are still active), and Instagram, she's often laughing her head off or even jokingly laughing and understands pre-teen texts perfectly. Handy. Firmly rooted in contemporary life, she manages to be a torrent of love, blending authenticity and modernity. A deep fryer? Yep, dude!
The beautiful granny
Always impeccably dressed (and we're not talking about a facelift here!), this grandmother is nothing like Granny Nova. Fresh as a daisy, she even gets flirted with at Naturalia, where they mistake her for the mother of those dear little ones. In fact, it's thanks to her that hunting for the organic label on food has become the national sport of the cousins on Wednesdays at Granny's! A source of love, with a keen eye for aesthetics in general, she'll pass on her love of beauty to her grandchildren and occasionally nibble on a few fries from their plates.
The "local" grandma
Ah, holidays at Grandma's! Eggs gathered straight from the hen's rump! Fresh milk, herbs de Provence, eels decapitated with a cleaver right there on the kitchen table! Nothing can replace Grandma, the embodiment of a true art of living, the one who takes you to the market, awakens you to colors, flavors, the delicious taste of organic produce and old-fashioned recipes, the teller of wonderful stories, the jam maker, the giver of love, and the burner of plantar warts. And if she doesn't have a deep fryer, she has a big pot. And oil.
The adventurous granny
If you hear the roar of a Harley-Davidson Bad Boy outside the elementary school, that's her. Always eager for new experiences and cultural enrichment, she shares her latest passion for Thailand with her grandchildren by making them a delicious Tom Yam Kun. And if this whirlwind of love occasionally cooks them fries, she'll add a sprinkle of paprika.
The multifaceted grandma
This grandma is a little bit of everything ;-) Occasionally representing nature and all it offers, she can also pull out her secret box of treats when the rain is misbehaving. A big fan of cruises, she willingly swaps her travel bag (always ready for last-minute plans) for her mushroom basket…
In short, as you've probably gathered, grandmas adore them, and our little ones even more! And that's why, despite their big hearts and tiny flaws, and the fact that we have to make room for them on public transport ;-) well, we love them all. Oh yes! And for the fries too!
P.S.: A little shout-out to all the grandpas we haven't forgotten! Poor things, they don't have their own special day... so we're sending them lots of kisses anyway ;)
