Me - We’re all going to die
Angriest – No, we’re not. We live in a developed nation.
Me – No we’re ALL going to die.
Angriest – No, just all the poor people.
Me – No it’ll end up being just the richest people holed up in enclaves except the infrastructure will break down because there’ll be no poor people to do all the work for them.
Angriest *looks*
Me - …possibly I’ve watched too many apocalypse movies.


And on visiting my 95 year old Grandma last week, talking about environmental issues (and by talk I mean me scribbling notes on my laptop and swinging it around to show her, because she’s deaf).

Grandma – You might live to see the end of the world.
Me *out loud* Well not me, maybe Bunny.
Grandma *sounding smug* I won’t.

Your Grandma sounds very cool, and you rock for spending time with her. *hugs*

Every Saturday morning I ring her to find out what food shopping she wants done. She picks up the phone, says 'Is that you, Sarren?' pauses for the answer she can't hear, reels off her list and hangs up. Then I show up at lunchtime with KFC* and then we play scrabble. Some weeks she's more on the ball than others, and I don't bother making seven letter words anymore, but on the whole for 95 she's still pretty awesome.


*Don't judge me, she likes the cookies and cream cheesecake from there.
