Mom and the Storm Trooper
Mom, at 95 years old, enjoying herself with a life-sized blow-up balloon of a Star Wars Storm Trooper on Halloween.
Mom got the giggles, that’s for sure.

- Nancy Mulliganthe video is adorable….just from watching this little clip, i got a lot out of what kind of person momma is…..do you ever notice that comedians who have laughed all through their lifes, live longer???….momma has a bigggg smile and is laughing… definitely enjoying and getting a kick out of the doll…..she is kind and loving to people….i love when she gave him a kiss….that was soooooooo sweet and cute……by the way, you have your mothers laugh π …….if laughter is truly one of the keys to living a longggg life, than momma is gonna be around a long time…..and that means so am I, because i laugh and am goofy (not the disney goofy) all the time….if you have seen the movie Mary Poppins, there is a song in there called, “I love to laugh”…. well, maybe not that name, but close enough….next time you see your mother, please give her a big hug and kiss, and tell her its from a nice irish/jewish girl from new joisey, who thought she was awesome and made my day watching this video…..thank you Ned for sharing…..have a beautiful day!!…..PS:::::I don’t know if you have ever seen or heard of Susie Stretch doll, but omgggggg, i could soooooo see your mother with this having a blast…….now they just call them stretch dolls….you just put your hands and feet through them and they move when you move….it is hysterical to watch someone when they do funny movements with them…..now. that would be an awesome video……i am laughing just thinking of your mother with one of these…..PSS:::::sorry this is so long lmao….but sometimes my posts are long when i have to say what i have to say…… πNov 1, 2016, 12:43 PM
- Ned BuratovichThank you, Nancy, I will share your sweet comments (and photo) with my mom when I see her this evening. I read all the Facebook comments on her videos or photos to her. I tell her that she is “famous on Facebook.” πNov 1, 2016, 3:05 PM
- Nancy Mulliganwell she is famous for me now….she was too cute….does she have an accent??…my hearing isn’t great lol but i thought i heard it…..my 2 aunts are 97 and 93…..they are sisters….one day i asked them what the secret of longevity was for them…..they said a shot of scotch every night and laughter….i don’t drink, so the scotch is out for me……but i do laugh alot….i hope i have their genes…..and please give your mom a kiss and hug from me…..and one for you too xoxo…..Nov 1, 2016, 3:13 PM
