     My mother always thought her mother, my grandmother, was psychic, And one night she proved it was so. My grandparets rented this old shack of a house, to house their big family in. They lived there for five years with no trouble. Then one night after supper something strange happend. My mother was going to take the garbage out of the back door, but before she could reach the door, grandma stopped her, She said don't go out that door, it's dangerouse out there. My mother obeyed her mother and put the garbage down. She thought it would be better to bring it out in the light, her mother wouldn't know she did.

     The next morning after breakfast, her mother went into the parlor, to have her morning tea, and read the leaves left in the cup. My mother started to slip out the back door with the garbage from the night before. She started to step on the back porch but it was gone.

     Evidently there were boards over a deep well, and they had fallen through. From then on My mother always knew grandma was psychic.
