Character: Grandma

- How to say? Rather no than yes. Well, how can you guys be friends with him? They tell him: “Let’s go knock down birds from slingshots,” and he: “No, they are alive, you can’t.”

- This is such a person that he has lost the will to live, he walks the last meters around the world. It happens that someone becomes weak from hard work and hunger, and even begins to wither by leaps and bounds. There is no will in him to cling to life. The current has two desires: to eat to the full and sleep. Can't think of anything else. And this is a terrible thing. Such thoughts suck their master dry. Here it comes.

You look and dare: whoever wrote a denunciation on us today, tomorrow he will betray you with giblets, and foolishly write a slander against the higher authorities. Give such a current your strength and feel the power - you will carry it, you will not stop it.

- Umotal, balabol. Here he tore his throat at rallies, now he is campaigning for some local party there. And what should I do there? Tell me. Sit and wait for death?! I'll be there, like a brainless earthworm, dry out of hopelessness.

- A name, Zina, a person earns for himself all his life. Yes, not everyone succeeds. To whom and nicknames are enough.

- Grandma, are you cheerful?

Remember: words can create the world anew.

"The world is changing is not such as everything, - said the grandmother. - Ordinary people there is nothing to change and gulkin Fig".

- Do you have a light?
- I'm seven years old! - cut'elsa.
How long are you gonna hide behind?
- Until then, until I turn eight!

Grandma loved Alsoi together to watch the evening news. Sometimes after the news, Elsa asked my grandmother why adults do dumb shit. The grandmother replied: this is because adults are people too, and people are inherently assholes. Elsa objected that it is illogical, because except for the stupid things adults have to do a lot of good. For example, space flight, United Nations, vaccines, sirotci. To this my grandmother replied: "the Whole trick is that no one person is completely full of shit, but not to be they also can not. It is important to try to be less asshole - but this is the most difficult thing in life."

"Oven buns is serious business, this is not to shit in the sneaker," said grandmother, who had nothing baked. And that, was hoping'elsa, will not use a sneaker for similar purposes.

Can't get rid of the nasty stuff - vitezne her some stuff better.

- A couple of years ago my husband died, and the son eternally gives brochure advertising nursing homes, where they put old people wait to die out of sight.
And you hate him.
- Well, a little. Sometimes. But, you know, family. Even when you hate me, you still love them.

It's not safe in the air radiation, you know?
- Do you know how old I am?
I do not know. Probably a lot.
- Eighty-two. I have lived all my life here. It was here, in this house, in this village. I don't care about the danger.
- I have my orders. Let's not be stupid.
Stupidity? You're not the first soldier had come there with weapons. When I was twelve, the revolution began. First the king's soldiers, and then the Bolsheviks. Guys like you, came, told us to run away. No. Then there was Stalin and with it a famine, the Holodomor, the parents died, my two sisters. Those who survived were ordered to get out. No. And then world war II. German soldiers, Russian soldiers - more soldiers - more famine, more death. My brothers never returned from the war. I lived here and still live. So after all that I have seen, I must run away from the fact that I can't even see? No.
