Have you ever seen a woman's vulva?
Some day my sleep cycle is going to get back to normal, I hope. But that day is not today.
I found out today that my average in Greek History is high enough that instead of taking the final exam, I can write a paper on ANYTHING I WANT. =) This is seriously overwhelmingly awesome, and I think I'm going to start as soon as I get a bit more information about what exactly the professor wants.
The story about my grandmother I promised:
My grandmother is a lovely woman who I adore with all my heart and plan to name my children after. She has a habit of saying some extremely innapropriate things to me (and others), but this one was really quite impressive. Chalk it up to senility or whatever, this was a bit beyond her normal level of insanity.
So, over Thanksgiving break, my family was visiting the Met(ropolitan Museum of Art, for the uncultured savages who don't live in the New York City area). We were in the Greek wing because my brother had just finished studying it in art history and wanted to show off. Well, Grandma gets me cornered between a vase and a display case, and says, pretty much out of nowhere, "Abby, you've seen a lot of sculptures of naked people, right?" Weird already, but I just go, yeah, I guess, Grandma. And then she says: "Have you ever seen a woman's vulva?"
WTF???????
She meant on a sculpture, of course, but still... WTF???? forever. Not a question I ever thought I'd hear my grandmother asking me.
She kept going with it, too, even though I really didn't have a good way to respond to her. "Really? Because this statue has a vulva! With a slit and everything!"
"Have you ever seen a woman's vulva" has replaced my previous favorite innapropriate thing she's said to me, which was, when we were hugging, telling me that she feels like she should be nursing from me. (Which is a comment on our respective heights-- I'm nearly a foot taller than she is-- but is still wildly innapropriate and weird.) She is a crazy woman.
AND I LOVE HER SO.
