Scene: SM goes in to give Grandma a kiss good night (grandma lives with us).

SM: Grandma, I like that picture. Is that daddy and aunt Ria?

Points to family portrait of grandma with my hubs and his brother and sister – taken in the early 80′s.

Grandma: Yes, that was when they were younger.

SM: You were older than everybody (he says very matter-of-factly)

Grandma: (holding back laughter) Yes, I guess you could say that.

SM – Was that during the Civil War?

Grandma bursts out laughing
