My grandmother, although perfectly healthy and extremely vivrant, doesn't really leave the house anymore. She just likes to stay home. She wears white sneakers and muumuus every day. Today I noticed that she was wearing a new muumuu for the first time in a long time. I complimented her on it.
"Do you like this color?" she asked.
"Yeah," I said, looking at the sunshine yellow pattern. "It's great."
She pulled at her dress as if to show it to me more closely and said, "They buried my mom in this color. And she HATED this color. I don't know why they did that. I don't really like it either."
"Good talk, nana."
