GRANDMA IN COURT.
Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they
aren't prepared for the answer.
In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his
first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand.
He approached her and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"
She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known
you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big
disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate
people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot
when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more
than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."
The lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the
room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he
was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem.
He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is
one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife
with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him."
The defense attorney almost died.
The judge asked both counsellors to approach the bench and, in a very
quiet voice, said, "If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll throw
both of you in jail and neither of you will ever see the sun again.

Wow how old are you? This is what most people like to call the puppy-love stage. And no this is not code for LOVE. This is infatuation, lust, you've only know this dude for like a week right? You definitely need to give it more time before you say those 3 words they mean a lot and shouldnt just be thrown around. Which it seems is what he's doing rite now. You know when you can't picture yourself with out him. When you know he's in your future and you trust him with everything you've got. It's not just about how you feel all giddy and fuzzy somewhere. It's about having peace of mind with this person being able to sit down and talk even when you've been dating for months and still feel connected and entertained by this same person. You cant explain love. And your obviously too young to even be able to recognize these feelings since your jumping to conclusions so quickly. Just be a kid give it time.

I think being young or old must be the best time of your life. When you are young you can get away with saying anything as you are still nieve and inocent and when you're old people have to respect you or just say "bless her she is old" good for her lol!
