Because I was way way way too pissed off. Now picture this: Your great grandmother has just passed away at age 92. She's been around for your entire 20 years of life and you can't imagine life without her cute old lady wrinkles and her wet old person kisses. She's like the greatest old lady ever, BEST GRAM EVER. So you're all upset and you've cried at least twice over her passing. You rearranged your entire college schedule so you could travel six hours back to your hometown for her funeral and then six hours back the next day.
At the funeral, everyone is solemn and quiet. No...not everyone.
There was a small child SCREAMING AND RUNNING AROUND AND STOMPING ALL OVER THE BACK OF THE CHURCH. I must have made the most horrific face I've ever made in my entire life and it went to waste because I couldn't see the parent of the year through all the people crammed into the pews because Gram was a popular lady (and rightly so, she was so amazing.) I was so angry I couldn't even sing the hymns because I kept cringing from the screaming.
If that was my kid there would have been HELL TO PAY after a stunt like that. "Hell to pay" = NO DESERT FOR A WEEK.
Side Note:
After some discreet investigations I found a resolution to the question of: "Is Gram wearing shoes?"
Answer: "No."
Turns out my Grandmother (Gram's eldest daughter) requested that she not be buried in shoes.
