My Uncle Paul died when I was seven years old, and my Grammie asked my older brother to be a pallbearer.
Grammie died shortly after Uncle Paul, and my mother again asked my older brother to be a pallbearer. Upon hearing this I immediately corrected her, "No Mommy - Donald was a pallbearer the LAST time, when Uncle Paul died. Don't you want him to be a Grammie-bearer THIS time?"
Despite the grief of their mother's death, I don't think that I have ever seem my mother and my aunt laugh so hard!
