(He may have gotten the looks in the family, but I won out for brains.) Erin, she's all yours. Honestly, with both of us being named Erin and having short dark hair, I doubt she'd even notice. Matt, I am calling Grandma today to ask her to ship me the Peanut Lady so I can give it to you and Meredith as a wedding gift. My brother only LOOKS cute- He too is a moron, unfortunately.

"If you send that tip money to Iraq, I'll shoot you in the head." WOAH! That's bad-ass, Grandma! This post was a blast. Also, Erin, your brother is cute. Other Erin (Curtis), we threw fruit at your Perfect Guy's head because we were hoping he'd turn around while we surreptitiously took a picture of him. Here he is, right here! That is me giggling sneakily on the side. http://www.flickr.com/photos/21755557@N07/2120023005/in/set-72157603489029004/ Grandma Lorraine is AMAAAAAZING. “If you send that tip money to Iraq, I’ll shoot you in the head.” WOAH!

Grandma Gertie liked to say things that rhymed but made no sense (ex: "Let's go to Moscow!") and sing snippets of old show tunes like "Shuffle off to Buffalo" at random times. Grandma Gertie frequently received packages of free products in the mail, like a case of chewing gum, because it was her habit to send angry letters to the manufacturers of all commercial goods, complaining about some perceived dishonesty or lack of quality. In response, to keep her happy, they'd send free stuff. I can't even be sure if she genuinely had a problem with any of the items she complained about.

I too know the embarrassment of eating out with old people. Whenever I go out to eat with someone from work (where the average age is 55), I'm constantly over-thanking the wait staff and trying to radiate the thought "Please don't spit in my food" over and over. I have no idea why but I need that peanut lady. I am eerily drawn to it. I must have it because it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Great post.

How can your family not be Jewish with such an awesome example of the religion close at hand? Also, I envy her relationship with Scott Baio.

Cause. . . well, I can't remember why, but it seemed like the thing to do at the time). Therefore, I think you should adopt me. I am but a tiny acorn. Raise me to be an oak tree of awesome inappropriateness. Please. Because you? Are amazing. Love, Erin P.S. Dear Other Erin: your crazy grandma Lorraine totally beats my crazy great Aunt Mary eight ways from Sunday. This was an awesome entry. Dear Grandma Lorraine:
