My aunt would be quite happy when she was the virgin mary, wearing her sister's breadbasket on her head about the neighborhood. Then there were the times her siblings would lure her into the car by telling her they were keeping her safe from the Mafia; by then her paranoia was insufferable to her, and imagine everyone else. the ride ended at the hospital--not a very nice one. i was told she had gone off her diabetic medicine.
the guy you mention--a savvy hostess would place his and my dad's name cards side by side at a supper party.
