Your FAT!!

I went out to visit with my 95 year old Grandmother this past week.  Sometimes when I feel homesick for my family, I go and sit with her.  I absolutely love her with my whole heart and find her to be an amazing woman.  Because of her age...her eye sight is a little dimmer and her hearing is just a wee bit off.  I walked into her apartment and told her I was there.  It went kind of like this:

Me:  "Hi Grandmother!"

Her:  silence

Me:  "Grandmother...it's April!"

Her:  "Who?"

Me:  "April"

Her:  "WHO?"

Me:  "APRIL...Your granddaughter.  I came to sit and have a visit with you!"

Her:  "OOHH"

Me:  "How are you doing?  Are you OK?"

Her:  "What?"

Me:  "How are you?"

Her:  "I'm fine.  Are you April?"

Me:  "Yes....I'm April.  Remember?  I come to visit with you often"

Her:  "Your FAT!"

Me:  "Thanks....."  :)

I laughed.  It still makes me laugh.  I remember when I was a skinny girl.  But now....not soo much.  You see....somewhere along the way, the wonderful metabolism I had laid off half of it's workers and the other half went on strike...leaving my metabolism at a snail's pace.  I did try getting my metabolism back by offering all those who are on strike better benefits....like a better health plan, more vacation days and shorter work hours...but I don't think they were interested. 

Soooo.....my grandmother is right!  Don't you hate it when you know they are right?  :)  I guess I better go and get some celery sticks....or a treadmill...or something!  :)
