MeandMarj: Oh no!

Grandmother: Your bed is already made.
Alison: I've already been up for two hours. I went to the gym and ran 4 miles.
Grandmother: Oh no!

MeandMarj: It's ice cream!

Alison: Grandmother, step on this scale.
Grandmother: 143.
Alison: Grandmother, you better stop eating ice cream!

Alison: Where are you going?
Grandmother: Upstairs for breakfast.

20 minutes later I walk into the kitchen...

Alison: Grandmother, what are you doing? That doesn't look like breakfast!
Grandmother: It's ice cream!

MeandMarj: That would be something!

Grandmother: Anybody down there?
Alison: Yes, I'm getting dressed!

Grandmother comes down the stairs

Grandmother: You're naked!
Alison: I told you I was getting dressed. Obviously if I was getting dressed I wasn't dressed before. What if we lived in a nudist colony?
Grandmother: That would be something!

MeandMarj: It's a little skimpy!

Grandmother: Is this my suitcase?
Alison: Yes, I'm borrowing it.
Grandmother: Why?
Alison: I'm going to Colorado for my friend's engagement party. I'm going to wear this dress....




Alison: You don't like it?
Grandmother: It's a little skimpy.

MeandMarj: That sounds so boring!

Alison: Time to go to bed. Got to get up at 5:30 run, 6 miles and go to work for 12 hours.
Grandmother: That sounds so boring!
Alison: Well, it's a good thing you do what you do and I do what I do :-)

MeandMarj: How should I know?

Alison: Grandmother, what was it like when you were 28?
Grandmother: How should I know?
Alison: Because you lived it?
Grandmother: I don't remember.
Alison: It was only 64 years ago.
Grandmother: ONLY!

MeandMarj: Good music!

Alison: What music do you want to listen to?
Grandmother: Good music!
Alison: Okay, what do you consider good music?
Grandmother: I don't know - good music!
Alison: Okay, not 1920s?
Grandmother: No.
Alison: Definitely not 1950s or  60s?
Grandmother: No...I don't know. I'm so old, I don't remember.
Alison: I know! 1940s! How's this? Benny Goodman?
Grandmother: This is good!

MeandMarj: Do you know how to drive?

Alison: Ready to go for a ride?

Grandmother: Do you know how to drive?
Alison: Yes, Grandmother, I know how to drive.

MeandMarj: You look half dead!

Grandmother: You look half dead!
Alison: I just ran 6 miles.
Grandmother: Why'd you do that?
Alison: To be healthy - it's just so hard because I'm out of shape.
Grandmother: Well, don't get out of shape!

MeandMarj: I never have jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Alison: Grandmother, tell me a time you jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Grandmother: I never have jumped to the wrong conclusion. 

MeandMarj: I knew there was something special about it.

Grandmother: That's a cute skirt!
Alison: Thank you! You're the second person who has given me a compliment today.
Grandmother: Oh really?
Alison: Yes! It's Lilly Pulitzer.
Grandmother: I knew there was something special about it.
