Grandma's Big Question

"Do you spit or swallow?" That was a question posed by Gigi to her 16 year old granddaughter.

Now once I explain the context of the question it may be slightly more clear but it is still a statement a grandmother never, EVER asks their teenage granddaughter (or early 30's gay son).

To start off I probably should mention my niece had a bit of a sore throat at dinner and was drinking hot water with lemon. Upon learning of her impending illness Grandma went into Gigi mode stating, "One time I had a sore throat so bad I couldn't swallow. So I just spit instead. Do you spit or swallow?"

OK, even in the right context it still sounds gross.

P.S. Wait till I get to the dinner discussion about facials and pearl necklaces!
