Today, at Christmas dinner, my grandmother talked about the death of every single dog she ever had. All 10 of them. FML

Hi I'm the op. To clarify, yes the dinner happened last night and so the 'today' thing is technically a lie, so sue me. My grandmother is 91 so she doesn't always have a filter as on what is appropriate to talk about. As to the 10 dogs, yes, there were times that she had 2 at a time. Most died of old age, but there were some that stuck out. One died because of cancer when she was a kid, another got hit by a car, and they had to put one down because she wouldn't eat because she was best friends with the dog that got hit by a car. Yes these were sad, but she is a good dog owner. She was tearing up when she was telling the stories. I love my grandmother very much and visit her at least once a week. As to the xmas mood, we decided to stop dinner and open presents to lighten up the mood for my younger sister. So don't worry, we had a good xmas!

Did the conversation die along with it?

You should have started talking about your sex life. That way you could both talk about times you buried your dogs.

Not all families have Christmas dinner on Christmas. My extended family on my mom's side all get together the first or second Saturday in December. On Christmas, I'm at my dad's with his wife, my boyfriend, and my dog.

There's different time zones for every part of the earth. So some people are 24 hours ahead than others.

I think you need to check your math skills, then. (and english: "do a math"?). did you factor in that people can have more than one dog at once?

different time zones everywhere on earth. Also some families do Christmas early. There are lots of possible explanations for this.

That's an awful thing to say I would never in a million years say that to anyone let alone my grandmother. Op's grandmother probably didn't even know what she was doing and that everyone was bothered by it. I didn't know someone could be so rude.
