Oh! Oww. My sides are aching. This reminds me of a friend whose granmother put out napkins with balloons and the word PARTY on them for grandpa's funeral.

Yeah! My oherheard line made it on the site. After I heard this I looked at the woman and said "I don't think she heard you." The woman smiled while looking horrified at the same time.
