Every visit, we'd get the tour through the house: she'd nudge you and then show you what things you were going to inherit. Nice huh? Well then we noticed the names sometimes changed... And then we started changing them on purpose, just to mess people up. Once, my aunt, visited and then sent me an envelope with all the pieces with my name on them. (As a joke.) Well, my grandmother never commented on any of this, and just kept doing her thing. Not sure why I'm telling you all these boring details, except your post reminded me of our "family tradition."MadMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550335108031470562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-49295685992857356802008-02-03T10:47:00.000-05:002008-02-03T10:47:00.000-05:00My boys are going through the "Can I have this whe...My boys are going through the "Can I have this when you die" stage as well.

That's the day we go to the market, and I'm so tired of dashing through wet parking lots and running bags of groceries into the house through the pouring rain. It's sunny today, though.
