Mom Gives Birth, Then Realizes Late Grandma Lied

Lying About Her Age

“She pretended to be older than she was,” recalls Britton. “When she sent us to the local corner shop to buy her 20 Kensitas cigarettes, the lady behind the counter would always say: “Isn’t she wonderful, your grandma, for an 82-year-old?”” 

“In fact, she was only 67 when she died. But the eccentricities that delighted me as a child might have revealed there was guilt”. But Britton wouldn’t find out until years later.
