Fictional Grandma Myrna Tellingheusen has been making her followers on Twitter chuckle since 2015, with her satirical pearls of wisdom lampooning the kind of stereotypes that the elderly deal with on a daily basis.
While Myrna's true identity is not known, we here at Bored Panda managed to get a few words from the person behind the account in a previous post. "
"I exist in a modular home park in Rainbow, California, a sleepy little town just north of San Diego, and just south of Temecula," they told us. "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."
Whatever the true identity of Myrna really is, you gotta admit that they do a great job. You'll recognize a little bit of your own grandma in some of these tweets! Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Why don't they? Let's be honest..no one cares who their great grand nieces best friends dog was...we want to know what happened?? It's why we watch crime shows. Get to the good stuff people.
"Robert and Linda Stokes are saddened to announce the passing of their father, Robert Snr. At the age of 67, Robert Snr. was still the life and soul of the party, which is why his overdosing on cocaine comes as no surprise to his friends and family. Oh, and if you're reading this, Melissa, you were written out of the will."

I’ve told anyone who will listen that when I die they’d better put my cause of death in the obituary. And to be specific! Non of this “natural causes” BS. If I die of a ruptured bowel because I accidentally somehow ate a razor blade, I freaking want people to know. Or if it’s an accident, please include the cause and what level of stupidity was involved. Especially if it was my own stupidity.
I always read them in hope they included the cause but usually they say in lieu of you can give money to a charity that was likely their cause of death
My parents would start their day reading the obituaries.No disappointment there,but they did have that little yellow light of contentment deep in their eyes that they had dodged the bullet.
Cause of death was never an issue until the 1980s when families were ASHAMED to have AIDS listed. It took court orders in some instances to stop newspapers from printing cause of death. / / / Then it was determined that AIDS is never directly the cause death, it suppresses the immune system and allows opportunistic infections to destroy health. / / / By the time that was known, death itself seemed to take on a shameful cast and it became more difficult to get papers to print cause of death -- such as in situations where survivors want people to enlist to fight a disease or disorder.
But it often isn't known at the time. My mother died and her obituary, to catch that weeks newspaper edition was sent in by the funeral director within hours. It was three Weeks before we got cause of death which was not what people had expected either.
Me too. At a certain age that becomes the most important part of an obituary.
Grandma this is all about life, .is to leave a happy life in a happy home share Joy and love with the love one but don't forget God.
I have to say I am kind of interested in trying “secret recipe” Christmas brownies lol.
My step-dad (RIP, Stan) twenty years ago cut down a very much wanted tree in the backyard because Alabama (Crimson Tide) lost a game. My mom was not happy. But he was ok after because he was too tired to be upset about the game

We have someone like this in Germany, too. She's called Renate Bergmann. @RenateBergmann on Twitter.
Haha, just going to post this. Renate Bergmann is hilarious, and she even has time enough to release books in her witty Grandma style.
