Old Ladies with Grandkids: Crazy Old Ladies, #3

By Franklin Eddy

Mildred and Dee were both widows and were lonely living alone.  So Mildred invited Dee to move in with her and share expenses.  The problem though was that Dee’s social security check had not been received yet, so Mildred had to foot the bills.  Dee had also brought a bunch of priceless antiques with her so moved Mildred’s new furniture out to the garage. At the end of the last story, ‘Old Ladies with Guns,’ Dee’s daughter, Tammy, had also moved in with them since she was getting a divorce.

Mildred had grown up in a prejudice culture so didn’t like members of other races and looked down on them.
Mildred had to learn to adjust when Tammy’s black husband dropped the kids off at Mildred’s house and told Tammy that she had full custody due to the divorce.  Mildred was shocked to learn that she would have little black kids living with her who were soon calling her grandmother.

This humorous short story is told from the viewpoint of her son who lives in a different town, but who she calls on for help. 
This short story is suitable for audiences of all ages.
