On Any Day

Whenever I saw my grandmother, she'd always ask if I was seeing someone, if I had a girlfriend. And I always told her no.


Eventually, on her birthday, as the cake was being distributed to the family, she asked in a low voice.


"Are you gay? It's ok if you are, I just want to know sweetie."


I laughed, which was obviously not a reaction she was expecting.


"No, no, Grandma. I'm straight."


"And yet you've not found a girl? After all this time? All that effort?"


"Who said I've been putting any effort in, Grandma?"


That confused her totally.
