1. When Grandpa came back from one of his many frequent 5-minute walks, Ben asked him how he was.
Grandpa: "I'm good. But I'm not proud"
Ben: "Proud of what?"
Grandpa: "I was gone significantly longer than I should have."
2. Grandpa was wrapping something up in a paper towel, so carefully that it must have been quite a treasure. Isaac asked him what he had in there.
Gpa slowly unwrapped the paper-towel package to reveal: A Pine Needle.
Isaac: "What are you going to do with that?"
G: "I want to present it to the inspector."
I: "It's okay, Grandpa. You can throw it away. The inspector doesn't want it."
G: "No! I saw that it same from the tree, fell on the ground, and now we're done with it." (so... I suppose he was thinking that it needed to be returned to its Creator?) Gpa fumbled with his treasure, folded and refolded the paper towel, then gumpily thrust it at Isaac, and said "You do it."
3. Grandpa, in a conversation with Vince:
G: "Admiral Keene is someone that I am aquainted with."
V: "Yeah?"
G: "And his daughter." (after a little bit he continues) "And his daughter. When he was still living in Coronado." ..... "and so I want to recommend him for consideration to the people for some position..."
V: "Well, you know he died some time ago, right?"
G: "I know.... that he is still in the living condition."
