Family Meeting

When Grandma shared her news

When the sisters showed up at their grandmother’s house they were met by a large group of relatives. Their mother and father were there as were their aunts and uncles and cousins and nephews and nieces.

“Why were we the last ones to hear about this?” asked Claudette.

“And where’s Grandma?” asked Jolene.

“Is she okay?” asked a very concerned Rebecca.

The sister’s aunt Stacey stepped forward, “There is no need for alarm. Your grandmother is just fine — at least physically. You know she’s been a bit eccentric lately…”

“I’m convinced it’s the meds,” Uncle Howard chimed in.

Aunt Stacey continued, “Well… uh… your grandmother called us all here for an important family meeting. None of us have any idea what it is about.”

Uncle Howard again chimed in, “We’ve all been here for over an hour waiting so you three girls can consider yourselves lucky for showing up late.”

“Where is she?” asked Rebecca (the youngest of the three girls).

“She’s in her room,” replied the girls’ mother. “She said she’ll be out shortly — although that was over an hour ago. Personally, I think someone should go in there to make sure she’s alright.”
