Gogo dishes relationship advice

She, however, gives some conflicting advice, saying that if the granddaughter still loved him, there was no reason to leave him while still in love. She adds that it was possibly in his nature to be silly and a player, but in a very loving tone. The gogo's logic gets more confusing when she advises the granddaughter to stay with him even if he doesn't love her a lot, saying that the next man might do the same and that she'd end up having dated many guys.

When the granddaughter asks her granny if she had ever been dumped, she quickly shifts the conversation back to her, saying that she was more interested in the present. The conversation ends with the gogo admitting that she wouldn't stay with someone who doesn't care much for her, but still insists that the granddaughter stay, leaving the young lady rolling with laughter.
