We're going to the cemetery to visit
some dead relatives, mother said, and on the way
back we we'll stop over at your aunt's home.
It's good practice to mix the living
with the dead. Otherwise, we'd end up
Either being bored in the cemetery, or if
we stayed too long at her house, we'd wish
that she was dead. This way by doing
two things in one day we can do something fun
the next week end, like go to the beach.
If your aunt keeps talking too much, like she
usually does, we'll tell her that we just got
back from the cemetery, and that should shut her up.
She never goes there, and it shows, because
the more you visit the dead the less you have to say.
