Maybe if I get her drunk...

Tuesday was my grandmother's 93rd birthday, and we (two of my aunts and I) celebrated it by taking her out to dinner. This was part of the hilarious conversation I had with her, after we'd ordered --
ME: So, Gramma, do you have any pearls of wisdom to impart to me, on this auspicious occasion? Anything gleaned from your years of experience?
Cut to my grandmother laughing and shaking her head.
ME: (teasing) Come on, Gramma, my life is in shambles, here! I need some pearls of wisdom!
GRANDMA: Nope. I've got nothing.
AUNT MARILYN: I guess that kind of thing only happens in the movies.
ME: I know, right? No Tuesdays With Morrie? This is seriously disappointing.
Cut to my grandma still laughing.
