So I call - here is the conversation:
Me - Aunt Max how is it going?
AM - Good - what do you want?
Me - just checking in to see how things are going
AM - ok
Me - so did you get the box I sent you?
AM - yes
Me - Ok...just wanted to make sure you got it! Hope everything is ok
AM - What did you want a phone call or thank you card? Do you know how many people send stuff to me because they think old people need things? I have 10 Thank you cards to write and you are just going to have to wait!
Me - oh no that wasn't it Aunt Max...I just wanted to see how you were doing!
AM - why? you think I'm going to kick the bucket soon!
Me - No Aunt Max - well listen the kids school is calling for some reason - gotta take this call - Love you!
AM - do you know its rude to hang up on someone because your getting another call? Bye! Click!
See I told ya'll I LOVED HER! She isn't so prime and proper anymore!!

Her youngest son lives here in the same town I do...he told me that last week he called to check in and she answered the phone "if your calling to tell me its time to go to a home...don't bother and hang up now!".
She is good for a laugh! I told her son "I wanna be like her when I grow up!"....
