But I've always done that!  And I'm not going to stop now.   

Kids: smoke lots of dope, don't ever worry about anything - especially money - and you, too, could look as good as me in your fifties.   8-)

I don't think I'll ever have boobs like you, no matter how much I don't care about money.

It is de trop to laugh out loud at your own mother's wake.  Particularly within the hearing of your mother's mother.

But I can't help it - I always laugh at funerals; it's so much easier than crying.   :-)

I've been to two funerals, which would have been fun if only the dead people hadn't turned up. They're always taking the life out of the party.

It's the grog at the wake that puts the fun back in.  Plus, a lot of people like to leave wakes early and go home and root - life in the face of death sort of thing.  I've seen it again and again.  Luckily I haven't had to attend funerals for friends too often - twice, I think - but lots of friends' parents have died, and so have mine, and a bunch of relatives too.  I've lost count of the number I've been to now.  I bet Az has, too.

Yep and the wake is generally a great laugh, a great place to catch up with people you haven't and won't be seeing for a long time.

A great big reunion, in fact.

I was telling the joke that had made my mother roar laughing the day before she died, and everyone else laughed too, but I caught a glimpse of my grandmother - you know how sometimes you know exactly what a person is thinking? - and she was hating me.

Later that day she announced she was cutting me and my sisters out of the will.  And she lived just long enough to do it, too.
