I remember when I was younger and I just moved in my uncle Steven and grandma. And Steven would go to work (special needs) at textile shop. Grandma would feed him like a really big dinner (separate from us). And when he was done he would go to the tv room and watch wheel of fortune and be asleep by the next show. And you know when he was asleep. He could snore. Boy, could he snore. He was my best friend. Gone but never forgotten.
