Ryan Reynolds and Chrissy Teigen might be the king and queen of Twitter but even the Royals have to respect their elders. Myrna Tellingheusen has been tweeting since 2015, and her wise quotes perfectly poke fun at the stereotypes surrounding old folks. So far, little is known about Myrna, and her identity is a complete mystery. Some of her followers want to believe the old lady behind all the life advice is real, while others think she's nothing more than a fictional character. In hopes of finding out something about this internet persona, we've invited her for a little chat.

"I exist in a modular home park in Rainbow, California, a sleepy little town just north of San Diego, and just south of Temecula," Myrna told Bored Panda. "My story is long and fascinating. However, the short version of this story is I want to make social media fun."

"There is too much acrimony in the world right now, and people need to better their sense of humor."

But regardless of who's behind the grandma quotes account, it doesn't make Myrna's tweets any less hilarious. And maybe that's the point. Maybe it's your grandma sharing the life tips; maybe it's a thirty-something literature professor that has a knack for humorous quotes. The mysteries behind Myrna only add more charm to her Twitter game. Scroll down to read her funny quotes on holding grudges, hard-boiled eggs, and other serious topics. Oh, and don't forget to upvote your faves.

I've never understood decorative soaps. What do you do with them after 30 years.

"Dead Cow" Estates? Was this lost in translation? (LOVE the toaster cozy by the way). My Grandmother had clothing for all of her kitchen appliances and a box for the bread.

I witnessed my mom invent this joke. At least, she had discovered the last half of it when we told her it was already a thing. She was so sad because she thought she was the first to think of it.

Invest one day of your life. Welcome all kids on your doorstep. Let them sing, let them perform. And award them with apples, grapes, tangerines etc. Glow your best smile at the look on their faces. Word will spread.

I so agree with this. Not even kidding, I hate that "big room" concept, there's absolutely nothing cozy about them.

And stand there in line for 10 minutes, but wait until you get your total before rummaging through your purse for the checkbook. Can I borrow a pen?

I had a meme that said "My Dad would cuss all the time and then say 'excuse my French.' One day the teacher asked if anyone in my class knew a foreign language. I raised my hand."

This is hilarious, but egg nog is essentially uncooked cake batter with tons of rum to cut the richness, so I approve.
