My grandpa would always start his stories the same way, "When your grandpa's grandpa's grandpa was a boy..." often with more "grandpa"s thrown in, and eventually his parrot Aíuóc caught on, "grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's...". He asked me to take care of Aíuóc when he died, so whenever Aíuóc says it, it's a reminder that he's still with me. | |||
