奶奶 ,是妳嗎?
Grandmother....Is
that you?
A
woman goes to the local psychic
in hopes of contacting her late
grandmother. The psychic's eyelids
begin fluttering, her voice
begins warbling, her hands float
up above the table, and she begins moaning.
Eventually, a coherent voice emanates,
saying, "Granddaughter? Are you there?"
The
customer, wide-eyed and on the edge of her seat, responds,
"Grandmother? Is that you?"
"Yes
granddaughter, it's me."
"It's
really, really you, grandmother?", the woman repeats.
"Yes,
it's really me, granddaughter."
The
woman looks puzzled,
"You're sure it's you, grandmother?"
"Yes,
granddaughter, I'm sure it's me."
The
woman pauses a
moment, "Grandmother, I have just one question for
you."
"Anything,
my child."
"Grandmother,
when did you learn to speak English?"
