A Hospital Conversation

My mom, sister, and I sat with my grandmother in her hospital cubicle,
chatting (and sweating, since Granny convinced the nurse to turn the
thermostat to 80, which may kill the woman sharing the tiny room). I
told them about the 8mm films from the "olden days." One was a
birthday party of Dana's.

"Hey, so you remember how old you were when you got that stuffed
animal dog wearing a purple striped leotard and leg warmers?" I asked
my sister.

"You mean Fifi?" Dana replied. "Hmmmm... I don't know how old I was
when I got Fifi."

"What?" Grandma cut in. "Why are you talking about feces?"
