MeandMarj: Why do you want to beat yourself to a pulp?

Alison: Okay, we are going for a quick dinner.
Grandmother: When will you be home?
Alison: Soon - like an hour - we have to get up early for our 10 mile race in the morning!
Grandmother: Why are you doing that? Why do you want to beat yourself to a pulp?
Alison: Its great exercise! Its good for you.
Grandmother: Yeah? Tell me about it.

MeandMarj: I'm going to go poke around the cupboards...

Alison: Are you hungry?
Grandmother: Not really...but I could nimble on something.
Alison: Okay - let's see what's in the kitchen!
Grandmother: I'm going to go poke around the cupboards - come keep me company in the kitchen.

MeandMarj: Golly day!

Grandmother: Where did you say you bought those roses?
Alison: At the Safeway.
Grandmother: Golly day!

MeandMarj: Sharing Grandmother stories!

I loved reading this story about a woman caring for her Grandmother!

MeandMarj: You are too much of a businesswoman!

Grandmother: What did you do all day?
Alison: Well... I played with numbers all day long

(as I walk grandmother through a discounted cash flow and net present value calculation, her eyes glaze over) 

Grandmother: I see that! You are too much of a businesswoman! What if I told you I made a dress today?
Alison: That would be great! Did you?
Grandmother: No.
