- Too bad the fellow wasn't in a better mood. At church on Christmas
- eve, my son pointed to a woman in the row behind us and said
- 'grandma'. She did look like one of his grandmas. She was very
- nice about it, and explained she was waiting for her grandkids,
- and was not the least bit offended. Now if I can just convince
- him that all women who call on the phone are not grandma, we'll
- be ok. 8-)
