"What's wrong with gramma Edna??!!"





"What's wrong with gramma Edna Daddy?" If you're a parent of a little one, how do you answer THIS question? Here's the scenario: You say, "You know gramma's friend Martha? That nice old lady thats always visiting gramma's apartment? Yeah, she's the one that always drives gramma to the doctor, the store, and plays bingo with her at the church every Wednesday and Saturday night? Well Billy, the thing is...you now have two grammas. When grampa Hank died last year, Martha took his place you see? Gramma Edna and Martha love one another so much that they went to San Francisco to get married. Not to another man, but to each other!" WOW! What a shocker! Breaking the news like this is the best way to deal with Billy's question, hopefully until he gets a little bit older. You better believe though, that this subject will come up again sometime soon. As for you, how do you take this? Gramma and grampa were married for over 50 years and were so happy, so you thought. Looking back on it though, that Martha woman was always there even when grampa was alive and still working. Was the marriage a sham or was it real? How could that nice lady Martha become a "homewrecker"? That's probably what did grampa in and made him drop dead! Look, there's nothing wrong with being gay, Perhaps you're one of those people that "live on the edge" and like to try new things. Okay. Fine. Don't try this thing when your in your 80's and all your cracks and holes are filled with cobwebs if you're a woman and all you can shoot are puffs of air if you're a man! These are the kind of folks I'd hate to bump into at the Sybaris. The first half an hour would provide lots of laughs however, the rest of the weekend would find me slumped over the toilet throwing up. Thank goodness for all the soundproofing the Sybaris has in their rooms or it could be a lot worse! Gay marriage became legal yesterday in San Francisco and to show that age isn't a deterrent to the whole idea, such people as Ellen Degeneres, Rosie O'Donnell and George (Mr. Sulu of Star Trek) Tekai moved out of the way and parted the waiting line at the courthouse like Moses parted The Red Sea to allow the two nice old ladies get married first. The old hens ought to be ashamed of themselves! The only hole they should be worried about crawling into has a tombstone at the head of it. Yuck!
