A conversation with the old person.
Old person: I need to get some DVDs for presents for my family. Let's see what they've got here.
[Some time later . . . ]
Me: Here's one I like. Have you seen About A Boy? It does have a fair amount of swearing, but I like it.
Old person: What's it about?
Me: Well, it's about how a guy learns that we need other people, that we don't live for ourselves alone, stuff like that. It's a really sweet movie.
Old person: No, that doesn't sound like something my family would like.
[Some time later . . . ]
Old person: Oh, this looks like a good one.
Back of movie cover: Fifteen-year old Girl falls in love with Boy who mysteriously appears at her grandfather's ranch. Although her grandfather forbids their love, they don't let that bother them. When she becomes pregnant, her grandfather sends Boy away and explains that Boy is actually her half-brother. She marries Some Other Guy, who helps her raise her kid, but that marriage ends in divorce. Twelve years later, she runs into Boy again, but she's now dying of cancer. Will their love cure her cancer?
Me: Okay then.

Cindy, is this all the same old person? I was wondering about that.
Yep, it's the same old person. I spend time with her every Saturday.
