My Grandmother Speaks...

My first crush well. I'm not going to let you put a name in there...course he isn't living any way. No, I didn't date much in my high school years I met chili out at the college and that was it. Oh are you?(laugh) what are you putting in there I don't have my glasses so I can't read it. Talk...talk about what? Something interesting nothing happened today.

I guess interesting things happen although I don't have instant recall of any of them. Is your mom coming by tonight to get her presents? Oh Alexandra... Let me go get a cup of coffee... Well, I looked around downstairs for inspiration to talk about, but there is nothing except letters to be written, phone calls to be made... My favorite memory of Annie (her sister) ... well we used to go out to lake Gibbons in the summer time with the family and they had a diving board and a ramp in the deepest part...well the deeper part. I was envious she could swim and dive perfectly. I never learned. I used to take swimming lessons with your mom she would go to the beginners class with kids her age. and I never learned how to swim. Now what do you propose doing with all that?

"So give me something juicy...what's the juiciest thing you've ever done in your life?" Well...eat oranges. But you know that's no joke really. mom and dad would order oranges by the bushel and mom would say take them in the back yard to eat them. Those were good oranges. Now you don't know what kind of taste the oranges are going to have. Bet you never thought you'd be writing about and orange...someone is going to read that and say what a cooke.
