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?"
