To my knowledge it all began with Mary Letha Barnes Hamill aka "Crazy Granny".
I mean, we didn't call her Crazy Granny to her face, that would be rude. We called her Crazy Granny behind her back. Which is also rude, but not in an in-your-face kind of rude. Just a behind-your-back kind of rude which is a kindler, gentler rude, and that matters.
See, Crazy Granny had no idea she was crazy, and that is the best kind of crazy because you get to have all the fun but none of the ruminating on how crazy you are and how your particular brand of crazy is making the people around you crazy too.
Now, don't get me wrong. Just being around Crazy Granny did not make me crazy. It was the DNA.
Damn the DNA.
You do know that we call you crazy behind your back, right?
