88. Peaches

I used to call my maternal grandfather "Peaches" because as he aged his hair looked more and more like peach fuzz. He used to call me "Doll," the pet name he'd given my grandmother. When I asked him why, he said,

"There are millions of women on this earth that say they don't take bullshit, but do and quite a bit. The only two I know that put their money where their mouth is are you and my wife."

When I thanked him he said,

"You're taking flattery which is a soft form of bullshit. Make me prove I mean it!"
