So.. “Poppy” - my grandfather - apparently decided that he wanted to refurbish a jacket that was getting old. The solution? Paint it black. “You painted your jacket?”

The downside? It left little flecks of paint all over the seat his new car.

One of my relatives: “Hey everyone, lets watch a movie… What’s on? How about this? What about this one?”
Me: “What about the show that is on now?”
My relatives: “No I want to watch a movie…”
Other relatives: “Yeah - let’s put a movie. How about this one?”
Another relative: “OK good - I’m putting this one on.”

A relative: “Frank - Who is that actor? What is going on? Whats happening? What is that all about? I have a funny story to tell you. Do you remember the time when…?”
Oi vey.
