Foot In Mouth

So we have a roommate calendar which we write important things on. Such as when we are going home, work schedules, and holidays. Last month our one roommates, A, wrote "Grandma C's surgery". So the weekend before Grandma C's surgery I was home alone and everyone else was gone to Burley. Saturday night I got a phone call from a friend who had also been spending some time with roommate A. He notified me that A had just told him her grandma had past away that morning. I called roommate K and told her the news. The next day was spent calling our parents to tell them the news and see if they could find anything else out about it. After a couple days there was no death notice in the paper but we were all certain Grandma C had been the one that had died considering she was supposed to have surgery on Monday. Roommate A finally came back to Logan for work so we suprised her at work with flowers, because her dear Grandma C just died. That night the other three roommates, J, K, and T were sitting at dinner at Wendy's roommate J got a text from her mother telling her it was not Grandma C that had died but Great Grandma C that died. This was a relief to all of us that it was not Grandma C but we then soon realized he had told everyone that Grandma C died. They also probably told their families about it. We knew we needed to stop this rumor so we called our parents and they all got a good laugh. It has then been a running joke all summer.

Fast forward to last night. The roommates were sitting around the living room visiting with A's cousin. He had a picture on his phone and roommate J asked about it. He continued to tell us it was breakfast he had eaten at his grandmas. Roommate K then asked "The living one right?" Then Cousin replied with a meek "No." The rest of us could not contain ourselves. We all died laughing. Probably not the correct thing to do in that situation but it was just a good moment of foot in mouth. We can just never remember which grandparents are alive or not.
