Kids: are you kidding grandma?

This why today I am in all tight clothes and I my hair are up.

I am feeling great.
I was reading about some sort of ... people who don't worship ..
Inner voice: this why you are so happy?

Inner voice (relaxing on the beach): ..on the beach (makes funny face).

Inner voice: did you say oh my God?
Aunt: what money again?
It's some kind of obsession now.
Poetess: no, I think some one else said at work.
I said, my neck,
I slept on my son toy.
Grandma: have to go, busy (disconnects the phone).
Aunt: why are we sitting on this Russian blog like chicken on the nest?
So far we are only Russian here.
I should've immigrated to Germany,
But all these stereo types..
Mom: time to grow up.
Find another name.
Grandma: kind nights in Canada.
When I was young at fifty,
I had no idea what I was doing,
I mean until fifty.
Aunt: she is not even fifty.
Grandma: everything is perfect then!

Aunt: she has too many issues.
Mom, aunt, grandma (laughing together): at that age we had only one issue!

Listen, remember,
Everything is going to be good,
This what she used to say,
One old woman.
Not only me, to people who would stop by once in a while.
And different words,
From different person from word across.
What's wrong with you?
I don't remember his face any more,
Only smile and eyes sometimes,
He was a long years criminal, every one called him grandpa.
Would he remember me,
Because I am not school girl any more
And he would probably be about one hundred.
In messy playground he was talking about life..

My grandmother stays home all winter,
She doesn't go outside,
And all the time she spends educating herself,
Reading books, watching TV, some friends on the phone, Internet. .
November 1941, first months of the Second World War,
It was her youth.
Military parade in Moscow, everyone went directly to the battles.
And first liberated Russian city..

Poetess : All kind of noises at night,
