I've become my grandmother

[SwimOdin]

I just heard an absolute fuckton of sirens all over the place.  We've never heard anything like that in the 11 years we've lived in this house, so it piqued my curiosity.  I'm listening to local police radio.  Like my crazy grandmother used to.  I've become so old.

They have the road leading to the back exit of my neighborhood shut down, and some burglary alarm went off at a beverage mart.  I will keep you posted.

They're going to "remain on the scene"  still don't know what scene, why, where.  But, there is a scene, and they are remaining there.

It was a car accident, a Mazda.  Less exciting, more sad.

Do you have one of those fancy desktop radio scanners?

I've kinda always been my grandma because i learned to cook from her...my mom can barely microwave but i didn't really pick up any of her personality traits that im aware of.

Now, my mom...she worked all the time when i was young so i raised myself...once she was able to not have to work 2-3 jobs, i was 15ish and suddenly she became this paranoid mass of neurosis and imaginary boogiemen...I assume because she was bored now. Reality and TV kinda melded together for her and she would have these weird warnings for me like if you're next to a tall building, always look up because someone might drop a tv out of a window or some shit.  Absolute insanity.

I have caught myself telling my now teenage kids goofy shit like this...like the other day my son said his school was going out to collect fungus....I told him "dont go out there touching everything or putting shit in you mouth". Hes 16...Hes not an idiot....but my mom took over and when i told him this and he just kinda looked at me like "is he serious, or trolling again"...I then tried to smile it off but I think deep down he knew his dad was completely nanners.
