The Motels "Suddenly Last Summer"

Blunt, never minces words, and straight-shooter are words to describe my late-Grandfather. One summer in mid-June during the late-1980s, my Grandfather uttered the phrase that still haunts me today: "Summer vacation is almost over." What? It wasn't even July yet and he's telling us that it's almost time to go back to school?! With just five words, my Grandfather managed to ruin what was left of a wonderful two-plus months of staying up late and sleeping until noon. Every summer after that one, my brother took great pleasure declaring that the summer was almost over on the first day of vacation.
