Granmo

For two or three years, Graham lived in Kingston while he attended Queen's University. Many weekends, a group of Dudes would make the drive down on the Friday to pick him up. Benefits included having Graham around for the weekend, and also getting to enjoy a mini-road trip full of Common People.

On one such trip, one of those moments happened that can't be planned and yet tends to stick with us forever. Chris was behind a vehicle with the license plate "GRANMO". The car was going a bit slowly, and Chris moved to pass it. Having seen the license plate, he exclaimed "Granmo!"

As we pulled up alongside the car, by unspoken agreement we were all looking to see if the driver of the car was indeed going to be an older lady, presumably someone's grandmother. Sure enough, it was! Chris happily exclaimed "YEAH, Granmo!" as if this had been some kind of a victory. The delight in his voice killed us, and ''YEAH, Granmo! ''became a rallying cry from that point forward.
