Number 25? Choking it down

This last Christmas and New Year's was quite eventful. To start off my family had my grandparents over and my brother's girlfriend. To begin the festivities we ate dinner. After offering prayer we dug in to our this once-a-year family gathering. Things didn't go as planned however, and before long my grandma began choking. Her sckewed logic told her that it was embarrassing to choke and that she should hide the fact that she was choking. It was a bad move on her part. She tried drinking a glass of water hoping to dislodge whatever had gotten stuck. It was to no avail however and she was beginning to think that it wasn't coming out. No one had noticed that anything was wrong until she started tapping my grandpa who thought that she wanted him to stop talking. It was then that my mom realized what was going on. She jumped out of her seat, rand over and quickly executed the hymlic. All I can say is that I'm glad my grandma's life was spared this Christmas. It really makes you appreciate family.
