Grandma's losing it!!

My aged grandmother is 92 and looks and acts about 80-something. She used to golf every day until she had shoulder surgery. She only lives in community housing because she was getting lonely in her house. She still drives (much to everyone's horror. She's a dual footed driver) and only have a little high blood pressure to ail her. She's ridiculous.

My sainted mother flew to Arizona and drove them to San Diego to be with my late Aunt's family to celebrate her birthday since she passed last year. As they're packing up the car to drive to San Diego Mom notices a stuff dog sitting in the car.

"Mom, are you giving that stuffed animal to Lily (Aunt Jan's granddaughter)?"
"No, it's to scare off any people who would rob us on the trip. We're just two women traveling alone." of course it is. And of course it looks nothing like a real dog.

At a pit stop, Mom gets out and says "bad dog, you stay in here. Bad bad dog" and slams the door. Mrs. Do-Good comes up with a concerned look and a furrowed brow.

"Do you have a dog in your car?" Mom and Grandma exchange glances and giggle.
"Why do you ask?"
"I heard you scolding your dog and you left it without the windows cracked for air" she huffs.
Mom and Grandma laugh and explain that it's a stuffed animal.

"Are you sure it's not a real dog in there?" asks the woman incredulously. Seriously? She asked if my mom was sure it was not a real dog. Did she even look at it? So funny, I thought I'd share.
