We are all at my brothers house. A beautiful home and with his wife, the decoration fiend has it decked out to the 9's. Pumpkins, gourd's, with bundles of straw and corn everywhere you look. Causal nice is the dress, Holiday sweaters, nice pants, kids shined and polished and on their best behavior. Vaulted ceiling , crackling fire in the over sized fireplace . Just a very middle class quite Norman Rockwell type of scene.
My grandma on my mothers side said she needed a nap as her and my other grandma had a several hour ride to get to brothers house. So she went to a basement bedroom for some rest.
The rest of the family all stayed upstairs having a great time sharing funny stories drinking hot coco or wine, eating the wonderfull holiday themed snacks my sister inlaw had prepared. And playing with the kids.
About a hour later at the top of the stairway landing we see grandma awake from her nap. " I HEARD WHAT YOU, YOU M--TH-R F---ERS HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT ME, AND SCREW ALL OF YOU! AND YOU TO GRANDMA S. YOUR AS BAD IF NOT WORSE THAN THESE OTHER SONS OF BTCHS. I DONT HAVE TO TAKE THIS SHT. F--- ALL OF YOU. YOU CAN ALL KSS MY AAAAAAAAAAAAA$$.
This goes on for about a half an hour. Kids grandkids and great grandkids.Noone else speaks we just stare blankly at her. When its over its silent, light conversation easing toward the food not knowing what to do or say.
I grin and look at my dad as if to say, what just happened? And he responds F--- her she's going home as he takes the phone to call her brother.

Years later you understand your parents and familial relations so much better but that was my first taste of that reality!
