When I was about eight my grandpa died and I went to his funeral. I noticed a silver semi-sphere with holes in (flower holder) and I thought it was a speaker so I started speaking through it and I thought I was talking to my grandpa. My mum lifted me up and told me I was speaking to a flower holder!
