Today I realized how much my Grandma is negative. We went to a craft fair my mom, Grandma and me. Well everything was either ugly, too expensive or just wasn't cute. I was looking at a basket and she came up behind me what would you do with that? When I said I was thinking she said you don't need it put it down and then walked away. We saw some very cute birdhouses for a dollar and she said well a real bird couldn't live in them so why buy them? I had just boughten one for my mom to hang on the house. How do you deal with someone that always has something negative to say about everything. You could compliment her on her outfit and she'd say but I need a scarf because my neck shows. I love my Grandma but being around her drives me crazy. Sometimes she's not so bad but today I wanted to just scream. I know that sometimes people when they get older get negative but this is out of control and I'd like to say if you have something bad to say you must counter it with 2 positives but if she did that she may never talk again. I know I have my days where nothing is going right but I still try to maintain a good outlook when I'm around other people. Any advice guys?

Something bad must going to happen I feel to damn good.
