RELATIVELY SPEAKING

RELATIVELY HIGH

When my then twelve-year-old granddaughter had grown taller than I, I suggested a somewhat simple solution to a problem she had confided. Her smiling reply, "Gramma, you may be short, but you're not stupid."

RELATIVELY OLD

One steamy Fourth of July weekend, my sister and I met to do some shopping. When I commented on the pretty blouse she was wearing, she mentioned having shorts to match. Since it was so hot, I asked why she wasn't wearing them. She fixed me with her best 'how dumb are you' look and retorted, "Have you seen sixty-seven year old legs lately?"
