I'm mad at myself that I didn't have more balls to claim items as mine when I was there.  I had no idea they were "claiming" things until my sibling texted me asking what I wanted.  I later found out all the things I wanted were already claimed.  I didn't go through the house making a mental note of stuff as Grandma is still alive.  I guess I have too much class.

Class? Oh, honey.

I have a necklace, a pair of earrings, and a small painting from my grandparents. You have this laundry list and want MORE?

No - this is how it went:
Me: Cousin T, I hear you are at Grandma's house.  Can you set aside a few things for me?
Cousin T: Sure. WHat do you want?
Me: How about those little glasses in the kitchen?
Cousin T: Nope Cousin R took them.
Me: How about the CHristmas houses?
Cousin T: Nope Cousin D took them.
Me: How about the china?
Cousin T:  Nope that's mine.
Me: How about the doll stroller?
Cousin T: Nope Cousin D took that.
Me: How about the Hummels?
Cousin T: Nope cousin R took them.
Me: How about the bear rug?
Cousin T: Nope I took that.

I'd be happy with a necklace but as you can read above, the jewelry is spoken for by the other side of the family.

But you say I lack class?  :?: [/quote]
