The traditional day after Christmas Pizza Hut lunch with Grandma.

Driving out there, Allie and I tried to remember how long ago it was exactly that Grandpa Ralph had passed away. I guessed twenty years, but in reality it was closer to ten.

Grandma: That's a beautiful ring.
Sarah: Oh, thank you.
Grandma: I still wear mine. See?
Allie: Grandma, why are you wearing it on your middle finger?
Grandma: It doesn't fit on my ring finger anymore. So I put it here. But now I can't get it off.
Me: It's stuck?
Grandma: It's stuck.
Dad: Just use cold water.
Me: Or butter, right? You could get it off with butter.
Grandma: I think I'll keep it on.
