I was maybe eight at the time, and I genuinely had no idea what she was talking about, but she said it with such seriousness that I was afraid to crack a smile at the insanity of her words. “What?” My confusion eventually overwhelmed me and I simply had to ask. “Didn’t your mama ever teach you it’s not polite to stare?” She tisked at me. “I sure know I taught her that lesson.” I loved my grandmother. She was a bit of a kook at times, but she had a great sense of humor ...
