Grannies, Content Creators, And Trouble-Makers
October 7, 2025·0 comments·zg
It was the first time I’d seen my Uncle Tim in a minute. He immediately started busting my chops about “Ooh Mr. Content Creator!” We’re close enough in age that this works on multiple levels. It’s all love.
But then, not long after, he was saying, “OK but you can’t write about THAT.”
So I’m doing what must be done and writing about THAT.
Because it was pretty funny.
And, Mr. Content Creator has content to create, you know?
We were standing in the hall at the nursing home, getting ready to take my grandfather to lunch. My wife, my dad, and some other family were there too. My aunt reminded Tim to “bring dad’s seat cushion” - sending him back into the apartment to get it, while others peeled off to get cars ready and pulled around, etc.
Tim disappeared and we were talking about what was taking so long in the hall. “You think he’s OK?” was uttered more than once. Tim’s a doctor, and in reasonably good health so we weren’t worried but, we were saying it out loud in a nursing home hall.
If anybody had their hearing aid turned up a bit, they could hear us.
Tim finally comes out, cushion in hand, and announces, “Sorry. Somebody had done a bunch of grannies in there. Took me a minute to get out.”
We all started laughing. 3 doors in the hallway opened. Tim was giving us the “wut?” confused look.
Several grandmotherly women poked their heads out into the hall from the freshly opened doors. We laughed harder. I had to break it to him.
