A Pretentiously Angst-Ridden Diary of Ephemera. Also, monkeys.

Overhead phone snippets between Catherine and her adorable-sounding Grandmother:

"Yes Nana, I go to church....No Nana, I don't play the Lotto."

***
"You put your teeth in the garbage? I hope you brushed them afterwards."

"You sneezed your teeth out?...In church?!?"

***
"So when people call you, you fall asleep on them, and when you call them, you thank them for calling you?"

***
"I beleive in the power of the human mind more than I believe in the power of a can of tomatoes."

***
"Vegetables don't cause cancer, Nana."

***
"No, Nana, the voice box isn't scary. Yes Nana, I know you hate the voice box, but if you leave me a message on it I'll know to call you back."

and finally...

"No, Nana, I'm not laughing at you....my housemate just made a funny face, that's all."

She IS adorable sounding! And this conversation made me laugh heartily and read it to my parents. My mom laughed too, but Dad just grunted: "Hunh." Hee hee!

Yes, she does sound cute, but does she go at speed of the ICE AGE?

No -- in terms of sheer slowness she could never match my grandma. ;)
