Ben is my witness. Grandma Nancy has entered her “Nano Phase.” This evening Ben managed to remove her Christmas Nano from its plastic sarcophagus in which Grandma had placed it for its own protection. But recently she had been unable to play music. The instrument seemed to be locked in a toggle status. Select an artist and click back to music. Select the artist. Back to music.
You understand, don’t you?
Well, Ben released the red Nano from its plastic case, and Grandpa got the music going again. Grandma lunged for her ear buds, and Grandpa hung his head in dismay. It was starting again. Only now Ben witnessed it.
Earbuds in, Grandma stops hearing anything else in the house. She walks with strange dips and sways and lunges. On some unseen signal, she starts singing. Singing for Pete’s sake. Spontaneous singing that sometimes goes on for thirty or forty minutes or more. When was the last time you heard Grandma singing?
It’s true, she has passed Nancy, through Nanna, and now Nano.
