Nana, as we’ve seen before, is a funny lady.  I had a long talk with her today about my her cat, how the vet told her how old he is (I already told you that, Nana.  “Oh, I must have forgotten.”), which somehow got side-tracked to Thanksgiving (“I don’t want to say anything to your mother, but why did she have to make deviled eggs?”  Because I asked her to, Nana, don’t you dare say anything to her about those eggs.), which then side-tracked to her Aunt Anna and how great a cook she was.  I mostly uh-huhed through most of it, but reading some of today’s nablopomo posts reminded me of a Silly Nana Moment.  Lots of people have been posting LOLCats as part of their nablopomo contribution, and it made me think of Nana.  I had to explain to her what a LOLCat was.  Given how new the internet is in relation to her age, and how new the concept of the LOLCat is in relation to the internet, it’s not surprising that she wouldn’t know.  She didn’t get the humor, just kind of shook her head and said “That’s stupid.”  But it got me thinking about Thanksgiving and how Llamaface was talking to Boogermonkey, having him repeat certain funny phrases like “I’m a rock star” and “I’m a ninja.”  My grandmother then asked “What is he saying?”  Ninja, Nana, ninja.  “What’s a ninja?”  My brother and I were flabbergasted.  Nana is a fairly worldly, educated woman.  We had no idea how to explain ninjas to Nana.  How the hell do you explain ninjas to an 81-year-old woman?
