"Oh, look!" She stood up and ran somewhere while I sat still, processing what she just told me.

"She's dead?" I asked, mostly to myself.

"Hey, you! Be a gentleman and help us out here!"

"O-Oh, right, I--," I stood up and turned to where they were and found her helping a little kid carry a basket filled with vegetables. Still confused, I rushed to help them.

As I helped them carry the basket towards the table, I managed to ask, pertaining to the kid who just came to join us, "Is she your little sister?"

"No, she's my granny."
