"That's pretty stupid!"

Besieged

I have a million homework assignments to finish tonight and my family came over for their weekly dinner gathering.  My brother pulled me into the office to show me something he was interested in and before I could get out and get back to my room, Grandma came in.

Now, Grandma walks with an industrial sized maroon walker with fancy wheels and seating arrangements.  She also recently disobeyed Anna by trying a new pair of shoes, which caused her to develop ulcers on her heels.  So now, she is wearing these orthopedic boots that look like a cross between Uggs and a jock strap.  She stood there for at least twenty minutes complaining about the boots.

I told Anna I needed to leave and work on my homework, and we were cracking each other up because I knew Grandma would block the doorway for another twenty minutes.

She then asked Anna if she should take a shower.  She stood there for another twenty minutes and debated the pros, cons and process with Anna.  By this time Anna and I were in tears laughing because I just needed Grandma to move so I could get out.  She finally got out of the doorway and parked in front of my room.  "Am I out of your way yet?"

"Almost."
