Visit with Jane

Helena, Ruby and I visited with their my maternal grandmother Jane (86), sitting on the couch over at Nancy's.

Listen to recorded sound clip ...

Helena returns from running over to our place with my PDA to begin recording. Jane leads in telling a story:

JANE: Little moths, flying all over, and here there was something in that little bag of oatmeal, that they had worked through the plastic ... and infected the whole ...
JAHRUN: cabinet
JANE: ... with moths. I didn't see any worms or anything. I just saw ... of course it would have to be ... and it, and it not only was in there, it spread to the adjoining cupboards ... just these moths. And it took us two weeks to get rid of all of them because we thought they were all gone. I got up and I took some ant spray and sprayed on the top shelf. And, it was a couple weeks later, we were in the living room and you'd see a moth flying around. (dry laugh)
JANE to RUBY: What would you like? Are ya hungry? You are?
JAHRUN: Well we have bananas, papaya...
JANE to girls: You just got out of bed!
JAHRUN: We could bake some bread! Yeah. (mumble)
JANE to girls: Aw, they're such nice girls, aren't they? Well, you're cold! Such lovable little creatures. Is Daddy, is Daddy good to you?!
RUBY: UMhm.
JANE to girls: Or is he too strict?! Tell me the truth!
RUBY: (laugh)
JANE to girls: Tell me the truth! Is he too strict? He is?
JAHRUN: Does she know what strict means?
JAHRUN to HELENA: Do you know what strict means?
JANE to girls: Is he too bossy?
RUBY: Unah.
JANE: Now tell me!
HELENA: Noooo.
JANE: Ooooh, yeah. You have to, you know you have to ...
JAHRUN: Bossy? I'm not nearly as bossy as you and Nancy.
JANE: Oh, what did I do with that? Oh, here it is. I'm not bossy.
JAHRUN: They have so much freedom.
JANE: Do they?!
JAHRUN: Yeah.
JANE: I was under the impression that you're pretty ridgid in your ... I mean I got that on my own. Nobody ever ... but, ridgid like ... for instance, you sent them over here with a timer that they had to come home in fifteen minutes. Now if that isn't ridgid. (dry laugh)
JAHRUN: Well, so that dinner ... dinner was going to be ready.
JANE: Humm?
JAHRUN: Dinner was going to be ready.
JANE: Oh, was that it? Dinner was going to be ready?
JAHRUN: Yeah.
JANE: Well, I don't know fifteen minutes, well my goodness (dry laugh)
JAHRUN: That's forever for them. Their sense of the present is so ... wide.
JANE: Aoh.

To be continued...some day.
