‘GRANDMA’ SINGER OFFERS ADVICE TO REAL-LIFE REINDEER VICTIM

‘GRANDMA’ SINGER OFFERS ADVICE TO REAL-LIFE REINDEER VICTIM

NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas (Wireless Flash) – It’s a case of life imitating art in New Braunfels, Texas, where a real-life Grandma got run over by a reindeer. 67-year-old Carole Moore was recently smacked in the back of the head and knocked to the ground by a large whitetail deer while walking out of her work to meet her hubby outside. Moore has recovered from her deer-and-run – except she now has to deal with her five grandchildren singing the song “Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer” over and over again. That pleases Dr. Elmo Shropshire, the retired vet who recorded the tune in 1984. He says he’s amazed by Moore’s tale and promises he’ll sing “...with more gusto than ever” in her honor. However, he thinks Grandma Moore will prefer his new ditty: “Grandma’s Gonna Sue The Pants Off Santa.”
