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?”
“Yeah - ohhh it looked so shiny”
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…?”
