"Don't Say ___ To Grandma!"
Do you guys have certain things that you can't mention in front of relatives or they'll be off on a 20-minute rant or memory trip and you're stuck listening?
We couldn't say "Sears" in front of my grandmother or she'd start carrying on about how she hated the place. We never found out what her original gripe was. We couldn't mention the Kennedys in front of my dad or he'd go off.
We can't say "yearbook" in front of my husband or he'll pull his out and be off on a memory trip, pointing out strangers to us for hours and hours and...you get it! It's amazing how fast I can get halfway down the street while he's pulling the books out, or how fast grown children can get behind doors or under beds.
What about y'all?
