Just a Few Recent Examples



July 5th 2013
I'm driving through Alabama, re-explaining to Gan, again, what I'm doing.
Me: "So we're going to stay with Brad's aunt tonight in Prattvile, and then we have the wedding tomorrow in Columbiana."
Gan: "So when are you going?"
Me: "...Now. We're driving in Alabama now."
Gan: "Oh, so you're in Alabama?!"
Me: "Yes. We are almost there. I think it will be fun to visit with everyone at the wedding and - "
Gan: "Brandy I need stamps. Next time you're out, could you get me some? I'll give you the money. I've got two I think, no three, and that should last me, but I need some more."



July 10th 2013
Phone rings
Me: "Hi Gan"
Gan: "Brandy, I want you to take me to the doctor to get that shingles vaccine,"
Me: "Um, okay Gan. We can do that...How are you?"


July 13th 2013
Me to Dad: "Yeah, I told Gan we could go to the doctor next week. She wants to ask about the shingles vaccine."
Gan, sitting next to me: "No, no, I don't need that. I haven't had that stuff they say is already in you to get it."
So now I look like the paranoid person with no life sitting around trying to drag my elderly grandma to the doctor for no reason.

Phone rings.
Gan: "Brandy, I need to go to the doctor. I need that shingles vaccine."
Me: ...



July 27th 2013
Me: "After that we have to head to that baby shower tonight,"
Gan: "Who is that for?"
Me: "A girl I work with,"
Gan: "Is she pregnant?"


The following happen pretty much every time I see her. Keep in mind, these statements aren't that bad once or twice, but this has been going on for at least the past year and a half.


Every single time I yawn, which, if you know me, is a lot:
"You get that from your mother. She was always sleepy. Do you drink coffee?"

Every time something comes up about school (the one I'm in, not the one I'm teaching)
"Now what are we doin' that for? How long's that gonna take? TWO YEARS? My gosh,"
Of course, she is the one who encouraged me to go back to school.

Randomly
"Well, your daddy is moving in with/marrying/not seeing Betty anymore." This depends on the day.
