Granny was the matriarch of her family, no one did anything without Granny knowing about it and/or approving of it. Even when family members attempted to do something against Granny's will, Granny always found out and straightened them out, usually with a good kick to their backside. Granny was the family intellectual. She was like an Ozark Socrates, with a quick wit and oodles of common sense wisdom. Granny would tell you like it is, not how you would like it to be. Granny was hot tempered and quick to defend her kin folk because if your own family ain't on your side, who the hell else will be. Granny did what she liked, wore what she liked and said what she liked and if you didn't like it then that was just too damn bad for you. Most importantly Granny was loved and respected by her family. I want to be like Granny.
