Grandma

We met with the preacher who is going to do the service for grandma's funeral.  He didn't know her, so he asked us to tell him stories so that he could put together a eulogy.  He told us to tell him funny or awkward stories because they often really connected with the folks at the funeral.  So we told him some.  After one somewhat racy story about grandma and grandpa, he said that he wouldn't use that.  He thought it was the first time he'd heard a story from the family of the deceased that was too much for him to use.  Unfortunately, that was mild compared to several others we could have told.  I'm starting to get the feeling that our family may be a little off-kilter, and I am shocked by this possibility.
