Stop Grandma, Stop

Today we went to a few places with grandma here in Illinios.. We are on the Northern tip of the state. Grandma ran me over today, my backside hurts and my knee, but I laughed the whole time. Raindeer got ran over by granny, raindeer got ran over by granny… We decided to go to Sears to get hubby a pear of paints, and I saw a cart there so I thought it be good for granny she would be able to keep up. Oh no not smart, I paid with embarassment.
Here I thought I was being a good granddaugher getting granny a electric cart, so wouldn’t have to work so much, and my backside going to have a bruise… She was crashing into a lot of things, I explained to her a couple of times, and when I thought she had it I let her go faster, my husband turn in to a clothing isle, and she followed and then all heck broke loose. I will have to tell my Uncles to NEVER, Never let Granny in an electric cart. She dangerous!!!!!
So we are in the mens clothing department, and I tell her to go slow, but follow hubby. Well maybe I should have told her to stay out in the large isle but you know Granny she wants to be with us so she would have. Granny started loosing control of it, so I told her to stop and it just got worst, I finally tell her Granny let go of the handle this is after she just about took down a whole thing of pants.. LOLso I tell her to go forward and get her away from the shelf and put the shelf back right. Then she goes to follow hubby again and starts going to fast, and almost hits a shelf which was taller and I was worried she run into it and get hurt so I got between that and the cart. My uncles would kill me if granny got hurt, and I rather be the one hurt if it her or I. So I tell her Grandma Stop, she presses really hard on the go button, and runs into me, I am telling her stop Granny, finally I go….. Granny Let GOOOOO of the handle…. I am sure Argentina travel has better ways to travel.
So Granny gets to a stop, I tell her don’t hold on to tightly just very loosely… Well after we were out of sears we lift and I told her she was trying to kill me. I didn’t even let her attempt to get the cart through a check out isle, was worried she would hurt some poor innocent person, me I am not innocent she granny and I probably should know better. I love her but boy she shouldn’t be allowed in a cart. For now on I will make sure I get a wheelchair for her. It’s funny I was thinking Dad can do this, so Granny should… Dad is 86 granny is 82…
Now I got something to tease her about, and tell her sons about.. Well I guess if that the biggest problem down here it good.
