Conversations with my Grandmother

Me: Hi Gramma!

Her: Who Gramma?

Me: You're my gramma.

Her: I am?

Me: Yup.

Her: Well, when did this happen?

Me: Oh, about 1972.

Her: Really?

Me: Yup.

Her: Well, isn't that nice.

--Silence--

Her: Ever been to Holland?

Me: Nope. Have you?

Her: No.

--Silence--

Another elderly woman in a wheelchair enters the room:

Other lady: Hey!

Me: Hello.

Other lady: Any men in here?

Me: Uhm, no. Just us!

Other lady: That's too bad.

She leaves.

--Silence--

Me: Doesn't that sun feel good Gramma? It's a sunny day out today.

Her: Well what the hell does that have to do with anything?

Me: Uhmm...I'm not sure, really...I...

Her: I'm confused. I don't understand.

Me: Yeah, so maybe I should go. Love you Gram, see you later!

Her: That's nice.
