Funny Grandmother ....she might have been performing for you and family. For your expectations. Or half so doing this.

No, my grandmother was a native of Dublin and actually saw the Easter Rebellion as a girl. Watching Michael Collins on TV touched off those memories decades later. Like most people in Dublin at the time, her family had no sympathy for "the gunmen" as she called them. On one visit, I had to gently remind her of who I was and that she was in a retirement facility in Orlando with no gunmen roaming about.
