Chat s**t with Grandma
Conversations with Milly are free, unfiltered, and full of surprises.
Theme: The Beauty
Quick Take:
Forget the rules: stories get lost, facts get jumbled and, so what?! It’s light and fun.
No pressure here. Swear, ramble, be silly - Milly really doesn’t care, and there’s more than a little drop of dopamine going down!
Wisdom sneaks in. Between the nonsense, Milly drops the nuggets of insight that stick.
Grandma Magic
There’s a special kind of magic in talking to someone you love who doesn’t remember everything - or anything, really -the way they once did. Milly no longer reacts like a ‘normal’ grandma: she doesn’t follow up, she doesn’t check if you’re saying the right thing, and she certainly doesn’t care about keeping up appearances. And she doesn’t worry! And that’s exactly what makes it so wonderful.
Unexpected Wisdom
She might forget a story halfway through, skip a detail, or mix up the facts - but every so often, and actually quite regularly, she drops a nugget of wisdom that lands perfectly.
There’s no pressure, no judgment, just a playful, honest, utterly human and wonderfully warming connection.
I can’t help but celebrate these moments: the laughs, the surprises, the offbeat wisdom, and the joy of speaking openly - even when standard rules of conversation don’t apply.
When one of my daughters feels a bit fed up or sad she says, “I’m off to chat s**t with Grandma”. She loves it because Milly makes her feel less anxious or worried, she reminds her of what really matters. If anything heavy comes up she forgets or she skips details. As long as my daughter is kind and gentle, she says what she likes and she describes time with her grandma with absolute joy.
