Fasten your seatbelts because, yes, this is from MY grandmother.
Sometimes, when someone would say goodbye to her, my dear old gray-headed granny’s parting words were,
Be good; if you can’t be good, be careful; if you can’t be careful, name it after me.
My dear old gray-headed granny was a red-hot chili pepper.

February 20, 2019 at 3:33pmLOL! I’m going to remember that one!
I use to tell my children if they couldn’t be a good example then at least they’d be a horrible warning. I don’t know who first said it to give credit where credit is due, but I loved it and there were times they were warnings! ?
