She is sitting in her car with the door open and the friends 4 yr old granddaughter walks over and looks at her and says "Where is your leg?" my Mom says "It is in the backseat" The little girl just says OK and walks away like that is normal!! It was so funny.
When Mom passed away, we were cleaning out her house and she had 3 prothesis at least (don't know why, she never wore any of them, she could get around better in a wheelchair) anyhoo...we tried to talk the grandchildren into keeping them and making a table out of them for the dorm rooms so they would have something to remember Nanny by! Needless to say they said "NO!" (yes my whole family has a odd sense of humor)

To borrow a phrase...oh my katie. When I first started reading your post....I thought you were gonna say you have it on your MANTLE!! Btw, you should've made lamps for the kids and give 'em to them at Christmas. You know like the leg lamp in a Christmas story
