My Irish Granny
"You want me to do what?" I stopped short. I was yelling at my frail little gray-haired granny with her coronet of braids and that lone little whisker hanging from her chin. I'd always wanted to just pull that strange black hair out and tried once as a child. She slapped my hand, and I never tried again. There she was, rocking slowly in that chair padded with what looked like dozens of quilts. It was a big chair and she would be lost in it otherwise. I softened my voice. "Granny, I don't understand why you would want me to do that."

Crazy Auntie V
I had been having a very bad week, month, year--ok, decade--as demonstrated by my current abode, a one-room, rent-by-the-week "apartment" converted from a 1930s motel in this dying small town. The town boasted two convenience stores, a school (consolidated) and six churches in a two-mile radius. I always wondered why, with so many devout Christians, the parking lot outside my door was alive with druggies and hookers all hours of the night.
