I'm looking at a picture of my Grandmother
we called her Mom-Mom.

God bless her, she looked just like Lyndon Johnson.

6. funny story...
on her 72nd birthday (I musta been around 11 years old) I picked some wildflowers for her and saved my allowance to buy her a carton of Pall Malls (they were cheap back then).

She called me a cocksucking bastard. Turns out she smoked Camels.
