Grandma (to mom): “This Nilanjana Roy? Have you been to her blog? Show me how to get there.”
Mom (who suffers from foot-in-mouth disease): “Nilanjana? Oh, she and I were English lit. batch mates.”
Grandma (visibly impressed - not by the name dropping, but by Nilanjana’s literary stature): “And she's a writer today, eh? See?”

Somebody, just shoot mom.

Aah! Terri, tell your mum she's just a late bloomer if these posts are anything to go by.

Aww, thanks Deepa. Praise will carry her through the day. Throw in some Krispy Kremes, and you've got one happy woman!

LOL -- one can never upstage the mom -- perhaps we will have our days :)
