MeandMarj: Now, that was a dream!

Alison: Good Morning!
Grandmother: Where are you going?
Alison: I just got back from my run.
Grandmother: It's 7:30...already?
Alison: Yes, how did you sleep last night?
Grandmother: I don't know, I was asleep.
Alison: I had a dream you were running with me.
Grandmother: Now, that was a dream!

MeandMarj: Crooked as a dog's tail!

Grandmother: Don't you believe in a straight part? Your part is as crooked as a dog's tail! 
Alison: All dogs' tails are crooked?
Grandmother: Some are!

MeandMarj: I thought it was love!

Grandmother: What are you reading?



Alison: Mountains Beyond Mountains. "Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World is a non-fictionbiographical work by American writer Tracy Kidder. The story traces the life of physician and anthropologist Paul Farmer. The book was a New York Times Notable Book for 2003." This one scene describes the generosity of a donor. I guess money really makes the world go 'round!
Grandmother: I thought it was love!
Alison: Aw, that's so nice!
Grandmother: I think so, too!


MeandMarj: I'll eat whatever you put in front of me.

Grandmother: Where is your father?
Alison: He is at dinner with his friends. What would you like for dinner?
Grandmother: I'll eat whatever you put in front of me.

Grandmother: Is this your first paycheck?
Alison: Haha - no. I have been there for 10 months already.
