X (formerly Twitter) may be the go-to stage for celebrities, politicians, and meme connoisseurs, but none of them shine quite like Myrna Tellingheusen.
Myrna is the internet’s sharp-tongued grandma—the kind you’d expect to see at church on Sunday, side-eyeing everyone’s outfits with brutal honesty. Since 2015, she’s been blessing timelines with pearls of wisdom, witty observations, and just the right amount of sass. More dramatic than any soap opera and funnier than gossip at bingo night, her posts never disappoint.
Scroll down to enjoy some of her best ones.

Myrna Tellingheusen loves going to church, judging her neighbors, and, naturally, after all these years of experience, she’s never wrong.
Of course, in real life, many of us would probably steer clear of someone like her. But online, her impeccable one-liners never fail to give us a good chuckle.

This should be given to every woman graduating along with their diploma haha
Now, maybe grandma humor isn’t exactly your cup of tea. Fair enough—though Myrna would definitely gossip about you over fruitcake and tea with her friends.
Still, how much you enjoy her jokes might actually say something about your age group. Science suggests that each generation tends to lean toward its own style of humor.

At my advanced age, I don't have that much time left for sitting around plotting. It's time to get out and get 'er done!

Fairy tales used to be fun, they're not anymore. If I had a young daughter today, I wouldn't let her watch any Disney film about princesses. That sets those girls up wrong for life.

A survey by Ipsos found that Millennials and Gen Z gravitate toward darker humor, Baby Boomers prefer political comedy, and Gen X favors straightforward jokes over clever wordplay. At the same time, Millennials also stand out for their love of classic punchlines.
So, do you recognize yourself in any of those preferences? The platform you use could also be a clue to which generation you belong to when it comes to humor. For example, 81% of Gen Z reportedly get their laughs from TikTok, which means some may have missed out on Myrna’s sharp tweets. If that’s the case, consider this their chance to catch up.

Hopefully, Gen Z will appreciate Myrna’s sass, or else they risk being heavily judged on X—though to be honest, she’s probably already doing it. Then again, Gen Z has plenty of fun mocking Millennial humor. And they’re not the only critics: even they admit to being baffled by Gen Alpha, with its mysterious obsession with “67” (and no, that’s not Myrna’s age). If you know what it means, do share.
What seems clear, though, is that the humor gap between younger and older generations is getting wider. Gen Z jokes often leave older audiences scratching their heads. Why?
Clare Heupel, writing for The Statesman, argues it comes down to the internet. “There has not been a time when Gen Zers did not have access to the internet,” she says. “Though this may seem like a convenience to older generations, who only see having access to the internet as access to an infinite amount of information, it presents new issues that prior generations have never faced.”

I gave my wife a handle. "What's this for?" .."Easier to carry your grudges".
Constant stimulation from online platforms has shaped Gen Z’s culture, giving rise to humor built on ultra-specific memes and viral references. If you missed the original content, the joke simply won’t make sense.
And thanks to the algorithms on every social platform, many of us end up stuck in our own echo chambers, which is a big reason why certain jokes don’t always translate across generations.

It's that why they went bankrupt? Maybe if they had changed the signs to "JoAnn's Boxing Gym" they would still be in business....
Still, Myrna proves that grandma humor can hold its own alongside all the internet trends. We may not know who’s really behind the account, but taking her at face value, she’s as sharp as ever. Generations will keep rolling their eyes at one another, but Myrna? She’ll be here, gossiping, judging, and cracking us up, just as she always has.

My Joy of Cooking cookbook is still around somewhere, I think my daughter has it. I always enjoyed just reading it. Those kidneys in pineapple rings was fun to read.

My bucket list is chiefly comprised of attending the funerals of people I don't like. No one at the graveside ceremonies has seemed to notice I'm wearing dancing shoes.

I watched a video where 3 teenage boys were given a rotary phone, a number to call, and a time limit. It was hilarious.

We still have an electric typewriter at my library. A couple of giggly teenage girls had no idea what it was. Blew their minds when I demonstrated, and then they fought over who was going to try it first. 😆

Casseroles are comfort food to me, and easy-peasy to make. Cream of mushroom soup and breadcrumbs are the basis for a lot of good warm homemade casseroles. Throw in some meat, veg, and either noodles or rice with the soup, salt and pepper (plus whatever else you want to season it with) to taste, top it with the breadcrumbs, then about 45 minutes or an hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and you’re home free. If your casserole dish comes with a lid, easy storage of the leftovers—-and casserole leftovers always taste good.

Hey Myrna? Go to Wally World and pick up some 'headlight restorer' just in case you need to drive at night.

I am quite sure my Doc will be scolding me for my sugar count on my latest labs. My plan is to use logic. "Yes, and it's 100 points lower than last year, so it's a downward trend".
