Could this be a clubhouse signature? All thoughts are welcomed.
Thanks
...since all thoughts are welcome. Let's assume the best - you are honest, your wife is honest. Unfortunately, with those assumptions, that means that your wife's grandfather is the blatant liar in the story. Let's go with that.
