Grandparents

I had a wonderful last two nights with my grandparents. If you know me, you know that I like them. We went to Indian Kitchen, played Kanasta, talked about nursing... all sorts of fun activities. Here's a taste.

"Cheap"

James (Brother): No, Jaden, you can't get on the computer
Jaden: Well, that's Cheap
Grandpa: Wow, Jaden, what agreat insult. If somebody said I was cheap, I would probably get in the fetal position and suck my thumb... I may even think I'm cheap because I was born during the Great Depression.

"Chances"

Grandpa: Well Katie, you can take a chance. Columbus took a chance.
Katie Lynn: Yeah, well so did Grandma...
Grandpa: So you wanted to go to Africa this Summer? How's Bernalillo sound instead?

"Nursing"

Grandma: Back when I was a graduate nurse, we'd have a hundred patients on the floor for two nurses.

Grandpa: Yeah, and by the time you made rounds at the end of the shift, you'd find five of them dead.

"Nursing 2"

Grandpa: We used to have these machines that would chnge pressure to help you breath, it was before traches and intubaters were all the rage. One of the patients was in it and the power went out... his last words were "Uhhhh."
