Reading these all makes me remember many more that I have forgotten, the best story of them is probably when my grandfather FINALLY after 10 years of marriage, convinced my grandmother to leave her mothers house (they had the upstairs apt.) She didn't have any interest in buying a home, so she told him she only wanted a NEW home.
So, the day of the blessing of the house comes along, and old Msgr. from the parish states loudly to someone, in my grandmothers hearing, how nice it was to be back in old Dr. Clark's place!
Dr. Clark, my grandmothers great uncle, once owned the land, and his home actually was once to the left of the present house. My grandmother, however, didn't talk to my grandfather for a while, thinking he tried to pull one over on her....
(another involves that same aunt I mentioned before, when I told her the last name of a guy I was dating, she stated, " I used to change his DIAPERS!!! He's my husbands cousin!!!)
