The family wheeled Grandma out on the lawn, in her wheelchair, where the
>activities for her 100th birthday were taking place. Grandma couldn't speak
>very well, but she could write notes when she needed to communicate.
>
> After a short time out on the lawn, Grandma started leaning off to the
>right, so some family members grabbed her, straightened her up, and stuffed
>pillows on her right.
>
> A short time later, she started leaning off to her left, so again the
>family grabbed her and stuffed pillows on her left.
>
> Soon she started leaning forward, so the family members again grabbed
>her,
>then tied a pillowcase around her waist to hold her up.
>
> A grandson, who arrived late, came up to Grandma and said, "Hi, Grandma,
>you're looking good! How are they treating you?"
>
> Grandma took out her little notepad and slowly wrote a note to the
>grandson...
>
>"They won't let me fart."*
