Everything from a spot in the Who’s Who of American Women to hobbies like painting, golfing and Bridge were part of her legacy.

While promoting HustleOn The Tonight Show with Jimmy FallonSandler shared another picture of his grandmother-in law and took the time to share this hilarious (and exaggerated!) story about the occasion.

Adam Sandler is a comedian who loves comedy as much his family. This is evident in jokes like the one he made to celebrate Monica’s 106th Birthday. Mixing the two subjects together throughout his films and personal life has been a part of how he’s built his career, as well as potentially why Sandler’s friends keep making movies with him. You can also imagine Grandma Monica laughing at the comedic antics of her grandson in law on TV.
