Love "guess his mama's never going to die!" my mom says stuff like this.
Your mother needs to come visit with my father and grandmother. They would get along all too well.
It's funny--my father has said something like this before, too. Love the common sense approach to dealing with WAHs.

i will have to say your grandmother pulled it out with the USEFUL homespun wisdom. you thought you were getting a tongue lashing, but she said, "detach! detach!" good for her (and you).
I dreaded telling her. She is not known for having much sensitivity or for being empathetic, and this was a side of her I've really never seen. It was wonderful. It makes me want to see her again for more advice next weekend, even if it means risking spending time around boyfriend and lunatic uncle.
