But then the second thought was actually like pride.
You know, like I think something came across her mind like, maybe I did make a man out of her.
And as soon as my grandmother walked away, I turned to my sister-in-law and I said, she's sweet, but watch her.
To this day, my grandma and my husband still have their own little rituals.
When she comes over to our house, he makes her coffee, and she giggles when she tells him how much sugar and cream to put in it.
I still think she loves him a little more than me.
As I record this right now, my grandma is staying with me.
I told her I was sharing a story about her on this podcast, and I told her what she said in this story.
She replied, I said that?
Yes, you said that.
I love how my grandma has selective memory, especially when she says something funny.
That brings us to the end of our episode.
Thanks so much for listening.
We hope that this week and every week, all your surprises are pleasant.

It's in the episode called American Dreams, which dropped just last week.
So take a listen.
