MeandMarj: Thanksgiving

Me: Grandmother, I'll go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving.
Grandmother: Okay, I'll give you money.
Me: Oh no, Grandmother don't worry about that!
Grandmother: What!?! You have so much money!?!
Me: Okay, I'll take your money. 😀

MeandMarj: That won't do.

Alison: Grandmother, why don't you come visit me in Cleveland?
Grandmother: I don't know how to get there.
Alison: I bet Freddy will drive you.
Grandmother: Freddy...will you drive me to Cleveland?
Freddy: Yeah, I'll drive you to Cleveland, you can live with Alison.
Grandmother: Yeah, I can live with you Alison!
Alison: That sounds great. The only thing is we don't have a fireplace and we have one bedroom.
Grandmother: Well, that won't do.
Alison: Okay, I'll let you know when we have more space.
Grandmother: Let me know when you have a bigger apartment.

MeandMarj: Yeah! I'm livin' the life!

Alison: What did you have for dinner?
Grandmother: I don't know, but it was good.
Alison: What about dessert?
Grandmother: I'm having my 2nd bowl of ice cream!

Alison: Yes ma'am.
Grandmother: With the tall man?
Alison: Just me.
Grandmother: Oh.

MeandMarj: Well, if you ever need a place to live...

Alison: The thought of buying a house is scary!
