FORT WORTH — Whatever happened to spoiling your grandchildren with cookies?
A gun-toting granny clad in pajamas and house shoes robbed an east Fort Worth convenience store early Thursday, telling the clerk, "I am doing this for my grandkids."
The robbery occurred at about 3:45 a.m. at the RaceTrac at 1840 Eastchase Parkway.
According to a police report, the woman entered the store, grabbed an orange drink, then told the clerk she needed two cartons of Newport cigarettes and two cigarillos.
The clerk said that when he turned around after retrieving her items, the woman pulled a handgun from beneath her pajama top and ordered him to open the main register.

The woman fled with the money, cigarettes and cigarillos.
She is described as black with a light complexion, 40 to 50 years old, 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 8 inches tall, and 160 to 190 pounds. Anyone with information about her identity is asked to call the robbery unit at 817-392-4370.

Well, if she was 40, that would make the grand kids...ahhh...around 16 or so.
I can’t believe this lady...doesn’t she know that smoking is dangerous?
"That's my moms !"
Never mind the fact that her stealing those cigarettes deprived someone else from the ability to purchase them to pay for her grandkid's medical care; which they are going to need to deal with their emphysema.
If you say One Word, Mister....
Tired of waitin for that cash to come from Obama, huh?
Hmmm...
Baramas Tobbaco tax is having an affect for the childrunz already.
Dang it Granny! You were supposed to get Jim Beam too..
I had already guessed her race based on what she stole. Especially the ernge drink.
LOL.
Until they gave out that description... 
I was thinking it was one of my ex-wives!
Voice Over This is a frightened city. Over these houses, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old ladies attacking defenseless, fit young men.
First Young Man Well they come up to you, like, and push you - shove you off the pavement, like. There's usually four or five of them.
Second Young Man Yeah, this used to be a nice neighbourhood before the old ladies started moving in. Nowadays some of us daren't even go down to the shops. Third Young Man Well Mr Johnson's son Kevin, he don't go out any more. He comes back from wrestling and locks himself in his room.
Voice Over What are they in it for, these old hoodlums, these layabouts in lace?
First Granny (voice over) Well it's something to do isn't it?
Second Granny (voice over) It's good fun.
Third Granny (voice over) It's like you know, well, innit, eh?
Voice Over Favourite targets for the old ladies are telephone kiosks.
Policeman We have a lot of trouble with these oldies. Pension day's the worst - they go mad. As soon as they get their hands on their money they blow it all on milk, bread, tea, tin of meat for the cat.
Cinema Manager Yes, well of course they come here for the two o'clock matinee, all the old bags out in there, especially if it's something like 'The Sound of Music'. We get seats ripped up, hearing aids broken, all that sort of thing.
My little brother is an ADA in South Texas. A couple of weeks ago it was his turn to spend the day in court pleading out hot check cases. He said for 4 hours he listened to every person tell the judge that they were broke but plan to pay off their hot check and court fines with the stimulus check they were getting until finally the judge lost it and started yelling at every one in the court room that they weren't getting a stimulus check.
My brother said that none of them believed him because Obama said they were. At first my brother tried to play the nice guy and explain to them that Obama never said that, but after they kept arguing with him he just started telling them they had 30 days and if Obama didn't deliver he was issuing a warrant.
Wow. When they finally realize the truth, there's gonna be a riot.
More probably, they'll think it's Bush's fault.
Yep - likely riots over a the breaking of a *perceived* campaign promise. We are definitely on the wrong side of the looking-glass.
Personally I'm looking forward to the West and South sides of Chicago going up in flames. I've been waiting for it for years.
