Grandma said we were related
I heard the other day that Cyd Charisse had died. My Grandma told me we were related, that they were cousins. When she told me about her I had no idea who Cyd Charisse was and I had no way of looking her up either as that was back in the stone age before computers and the internet and the instant gratification of “who is that?” via Google. Now that I see how old Cyd was when she died I realize that Grandma didn’t know her very well, they were like 20 years apart in age. Shoot, Cyd was closer to my Dad’s age than Grandma’s. Grandma, were you pulling my leg? I’ll never know for sure now.
