I read the previous story about my Grandma Jordan at her funeral on Monday. To my surprise, it went over way better than I thought it was going to. Although it was a sad occassion, I was glad to bring some laughter into the situation. I was surprised by the places people laughed the hardest at, like when I mentioned that Grandma told us the cow's tongue she served us for dinner was roast beef. I had to pause because the rush of laughter engulfed me.
After the funeral, I received many compliments from older people that they really enjoyed my story about Grandma.
Laura commented, "Wow. You really have a future with making the geriatric set laugh."
"Hey, they're going to be a rather large contingent of people in the coming years."
"Yeah, but you hate the Baby Boomers," she said.
"I know, but it's not like I'll do a reading like this: 'I hope you all die you spoiled boomers! Now who wants to hear some nostalgia comedy?'"
