MeandMarj: I don't think.

Alison: We really need to get this patio fixed! It would be great to have a party in the garden and then we would have something to forward to and plan for.
Grandmother: Who would we invite?
Alison: All our friends. What do you think?
Grandmother: I don't think.

MeandMarj: So, you come home and eat that crap?

Grandmother: What will you have for dinner?
Alison: I already had dinner, but I'll have dessert.
Grandmother: That's all? So, you come home and eat that crap?
Alison: That's funny - coming from someone who eats a quart of ice cream every two days!

MeandMarj: Those pants!

Grandmother: Are you just getting home?
Alison: Yup.
Grandmother: Those pants!
Alison: What's wrong with them?
Grandmother: They are skinny pants.
Alison: What do you mean, "They are skinny pants"?
Grandmother: The pants make you look skinny.
Alison: Ah!

MeandMarj: Was he ever married?

Grandmother: Tell me all about your weekend!
Alison: It was great. We went to this Van Gogh exhibit at the art museum. Really fascinating. It focused on his works from the last four years of his life. I wonder why he was so depressed.
Grandmother: Was he ever married?
Alison: I don't think so.
Grandmother: That's probably why.

MeandMarj: But, you couldn't earn it!

Grandmother: What's tomorrow?
Alison: Thursday.
Grandmother: So, you have to work?
Alison: Yes, but if you paid me, I could stay with you all day.
Grandmother: But you couldn't earn it.
Alison: What do you mean?
Grandmother: You'd have to clean the house, shine all the brass and all the silver...
Alison: I think I could do it!
Grandmother: Well, sleep well. Don't let all the bugs down there get you.
Alison: Okay, we'll continue our negotiations later!
Grandmother: Ha, okay! Good night!

MeandMarj: You look 24!

Grandmother: That is my favorite painting!

Alison: Oh, wow, it was Easter, 1990. I was 6 years old.
Grandmother: You must have been older than that.
Alison: No, I was born in the fall of 1983 and it was Easter. So, I was 6 and a half.
Grandmother: Oh, wow.
Alison: How old do I look now?
Grandmother: 24.
Alison: I'll take it!

MeandMarj: The Handicraft Club.

Alison: What's this picture? The Handicraft Club in Providence, Rhode Island - 1984... 
Grandmother: Oh, that was a great club!
Alison: What did you do?
Grandmother: Oh, they had lots of great things! Sewing... 
Alison: What else did you do at the Handicraft Club? 
Grandmother: Well, they taught sewing... You could take painting... They had a number of things you could do. 
Alison: How often did you go there? 
Grandmother: Often...at least once a week.
