Subject: a story that is either funny or depressing

i, personally, refer to it as 'deprunny.'

It was my grandma's birthday a few days ago. At some point during the proceedings, she pulled a little box from her purse, opened it and removed the contents.
Rings. Mildly fancy & perhaps expensive rings.
She told me to try them on and take one that fit, told my mother, aunt, & cousins to do the same. So of course we asked her where she'd gotten the rings from. She said that she'd been in the store (the store was not identified by name; it was just the store) and saw the rings. She'd remarked to herself that they were pretty (i believe 'oh, that's pretty' were her actual words) and continued shopping.

When she got home, she went to put her hat in her coat pocket and found... the box of rings. The exact same ones she saw in the store. And it didn't seem to connect with her that she'd taken them.

There are two schools of thought on this: either (a)she's losing it, or (b)she's so doped up on meds she acts like she's losing it.

...

Yes, it's more depressing than funny. You had to be there, i guess. It's sort of like the time(s) she thought i was a kindergarten teacher (!?) for several months, despite being reminded numerous times that i was not.
