Context: My maternal grandmother passed away shortly after I arrived in Paris, France at the start my LDS Mission. I did see her before I left, but I wasn't able to return Stateside for her funeral. My mother and her siblings all gathered for the funeral. When they started to disperse her things among each other, they noticed several items had a note attached to the back which read, "This is Mary's when I'm done with it." There are five children, and it was only my aunt Mary's name on things! They all had a good laugh about it, as if Mary really would try to take these things from her own mother. To this day, Mary is still perplexed as to why grandma did this.
This week, I had the following email conversation with my mom:
Mom to me: Did I loan you my French Braid quilt books? I can't find them and can't remember who I loaned them to.
Mom to me: *second email sent 15 minutes after the first* Found my books! Sorry.
Me to Mom: Is this when you start labeling everything thing "This is Allison's when I'm done with it?" *grin* Glad you found it!
Mom to me: Smart Alec.
