Preppy Girl's Guide

So I spent my day tending to my grandma's yard sale. Grandma has kinda "lost it" at this point so the conversations were interesting. One went something like this.

Grandma: "That's a nice fan over there. Is it yours?"

Me: "Grandma, it's your fan. You just brought it out because of the heat."

Grandma: "Oh, well I don't want to sell it! I'm going to take it back in."

Me: "We're not going to sell it, it's to help us stay cool."

(5 minutes later Grandma returns with the box for the fan)

Grandma: "I brought this out so I can put the fan away."

Me: "Are you sure Grandma? It'll be much hotter without it."

Grandma: "Well I don't want to sell the fan."

Me: "I WON'T SELL THE FAN. See, there's no price on it."

Grandma: "Well there's a price right here on the box!"

Me: "Grandma, that's the price tag from when you
bought it in the store."

Grandma: "Don't tell me there's no price on it! It's right here."

Me: "Fine Grandma, put the fan in the box and take it in the house."

Grandma: "But won't we be hot without it?"

Poor thing. She ended up leaving the fan but continued to remind me that she didn't want to sell it. I sat back and smiled, feeling lucky that she at least still remembers who I am - her only granddaughter and one of her biggest "fans."
