Apparently we all have trouble hearing.

We had just knelt down for family prayer tonight when the doorbell rang. I answered it. It was Grandma Elison, come to bring something for my mom. We were all excited to see her, so she came in and we stood in the kitchen for a minute and talked. Dad came up to Grandma, gave her a hug, and this is the conversation that ensued.

Dad: So Grandma, the question is: Do you have any Draino?
Grandma (thinking): [pause] Uh...I don't think so...
Dad: All right kids! Get her! She doesn't have any Draino!
Me: Dad, why should we attack Grandma just because she doesn't have any Draino?
Dad: No, not Draino! "Green on"! I asked Grandma if she had any green on! You know, because it's St. Patrick's Day?
Grandma and everyone else (suddenly understanding): Oh....
