"Grandpa, did you ever have sex?" "Well,
- "Grandpa, did you ever have sex?" "Well, Willie, if remember correctly the last time I wet my whistle it was at the drive-in.about 1955 with your Grandma during..." "Wiillard, shut
- your piehole!" Grandma snapped. "Willie, you mustn't pay Grandpa any mind. He's senile." Grandpa's eyes twinkled mischievously. "...The Seven Year Itch," Grandpa finished.
- He closed his eyes. His head rolled forward. His chest stopped moving. Then Grandpa slumped against the wall. Dead. I walked up and said, "Grandpa?" He jumped up and yelled, "
- NOT! Ha Hah!" Grandpa never gave up a fad. He still said "Pshyche!" all the time, along with "Whaaaaazzzzzaaaaaaaappp" and "Bitchin!" I was done. We'd been on a 1,200 mile roadtrip
- and grandpa's fads were driving me crazy. Finally he nodded off and just as I was about to smother him with his Spongebob Squarepants pillow, he roused and shouted, "Hashtag
- PatrickisBae!" I shook my head. He was so obsessed with all of these past trends, that he often forgot what year it actually was. Gramps needed help, but

- for it, almost crashing into Misery. Misery lurched away nearly falling into Rotten Luck. Destiny who happened to be strolling by shook her head sadly and asked is that Fate?
