Deathly Funny
(I am seven years old. It is my grandma’s 73rd birthday. I always make a card instead of buying one.)
Me: “Here, Gramma!”
Card: “Happy Birthday, Grammy! I can’t believe you’re 73 and not dead yet. I still love you.”
(My grandma starts laughing hysterically.)
Mom: “What’s so funny?”
Grandma: “Look at what your son gave me.”
(My mom starts laughing. Everyone starts coming over to see what’s so funny. With everyone laughing at my gift, I start to get mad. I wasn’t trying to be funny. That’s just how I am.)
Grandma: “Oh, [My Name]. I love my gift. This one’s a keeper.”
(Fourteen years later, my grandma died at the ripe old age of 87. My mom and I were cleaning out her place. I found that card in a drawer alongside other keepsakes like my grandpa’s license; he had died twenty years earlier. That one was a keeper indeed.)
