She was just a person that always, like, put books in my hands, I remember even as a kid, like, she kept two dictionaries underneath the table of the kitchen where we would always sort of sit together. And whenever she said a word that I didn't know, I'd be like,"yo, grandma, what is that?" And she'd help me sound it out, and spell it out, and then look it up.

Oh well. Give them a mask and they should be ok. Problem solved The time has come for harsh truth. The AVERAGE age of death from COVID is 75. It is not a threat to 0-65, and healthy. That sounds cold, but it is fact. So why is the Nation shut down? It is a LIE. Don't let these vile criminals out. Simply give them masks and solitary confinement until this all passes. That's what they deserve, as anti-social lawbreakers.
