Grandma’s Socks
I went to dinner tonight with my Grandma and roommates at Bob Evans. Grandma is generally one for a good laugh or story and tonight was no exception. She had on her bathing suit socks. Speaking of a good laugh, Grandma is hard of hearing and refuses to wear her hearing aids. Well, I just called her on the phone to ask her for sure when she got her socks and she thought I was asking her when she got her shots. So, I’m not sure when she got her shots nor what those shots were for, but this story of the socks is about 10 years old as are the socks themselves. My Grandparents have never been one to buy themselves anything new so Grandma had this really ratty looking old bathing suit and had been wearing it to the Y for a while. Well, Grandpa was just a tad bit embarrassed. So one day he sent her out to go shopping and told her not to come back without a bathing suit. So Grandma went out and looked everywhere for a suit and then came home. When she came home Grandpa asked her if she had bought a bathing suit and she was like yes, I sure did. I bought several as a matter of fact. This pleased Grandpa and surprised him as she had given him so much grief about buying just one, until she showed him the bathing suits she had bought. She had bought

a pair of socks with bathing suits on them…
Well, she did buy bathing suits. And Grandpa just had to laugh about it.
