SAYING
MY GRANDMOTHER ALWAYS SAID, "I'D TRADE WITH THE DEVIL IF HE
HAD WHAT I WANTED."
Submitter comment:
MARGARET PREFACED ALL HER GRANDMOTHER DYER'S SAYINGS THIS

"WELL, I DON'T THINK I'LL GO TO THAT STORE," HER GRANDMOTHER
WOULD RETORT WITH THIS SAYING.

Submitter comment:
MARGARET'S GRANDMOTHER DYER WAS A CHARACTER AND THIS
POINTS IT OUT. THIS COULD PROBABLY BE TRUE OF MARGARET
