The ice was here, the ice was there, the ice was all around

I knew taking my grandmother out to breakfast this morning was going to be interesting. Let's see if I can recount some of the things that were said.
* "If I got punched by a kid I'd punch them right back and say 'how do you like it'?" (mind you we're in public when she says this...old people, they have no filter)
* "Christ Almighty, look at this snow geesh geesh geesh" or "Damn it, it was never this cold in Toronto. What the hell was I thinking moving back here?"
* "When are you going back to school"? "Nannie, I graduated last year. Remember"? "Oh! Jesus! That's right".
*  "Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink". Quoting The Rime of the Ancient Mariner as she was commenting on the abundance of snow...again.
