grandma's predictions

i spent last weekend with my family at Grandma's house. now, first of all, grandma grew up in Kentucky, and it shows in her language and accent.
my older sister and i were watching and commenting as grandma and mom went through some of grandma's clothes together, trading things and getting rid of others.
mom tried on a cute pencil skirt, remarking on the fact that she's not used to something that restricting.
"No Mom, it's really cute," sis and I assured her.

"Ugh, but it's tight! What would I wear with this?"

"Ooh, I could knit you a tube top!" This helpful suggestion from me.

Now grandma's input:
"Yeah, those tight things are in. I'm tellin' you, this is the Year of the Boob. Girl, if you ever watched tv, you'd know what I'm talkin' about. They're everywhere! All hanging out all the time..."

Sis and i collapsed in silent giggles, as she whispered to me that earler that day, passing the lingerie department, grandma had again declared it the Year of the Boob.

"Who'dve ever thought there were so many boobs in the world?" grandma said as they walked through the racks of bras. "But this is the Year of the Boob. It's like the whole idea is to show as much of 'em as you can!"

grandma, you're awesome.
