Brag: Religious grandmother disapproves of poker
Beat: Possibly out of the will

Would the inheritance give you a nice bankroll?

Probably not, I think my grandparents got scammed out of a lot of money by a televangelist a few years back, plus it would be divided between like 20 different grandchildren.

Possible hidden brag: Grandpa still alive but didn't sign the letter, secretly a degenerate at heart?

My grandma did this back when in 00' when I graduated...she wrote me a happy birthday card then proceeded to rip me a new one about taking up smoking (I've since quit for four years now) and taking a year off before college. My mom saw the card and called her up and basically called her a ****. Needless to say we didn't talk, she passed and I got cut from the will. Also...kool?

Proverbs 10:1-2, imo

1 The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son grief to his mother.

2 Ill-gotten treasures are of no value,
but righteousness delivers from death.

Did she send you any money? If so, send a screen shot of you depositing that amount online.

Beat: No money.

Oh, and I just remembered, when I graduated high school their graduation present to me was a book about how Israel somehow fulfilled a prophecy in the book of revelations and that therefore the world was going to end soon.

I never get cool presents from my grandparents

Grandma is a sociopath. Give her what she wants before trees fall and lightning strikes without warning.

your grandma sucks ass. Seriously, how many cliches were used in that letter?

I counted

"always dreamed you would XXXX"
"don't you want a family?"
"what would your kids think?"
"you have to work your way up from the bottom!"
"parents worked hard for your education don't waste it!!!!"

STFU hobag.

At least she isn't rich so there's no dilemma here.

Remind her that by choosing Christianity over the abundance of other religions she's in a way gambling for her eternal soul.

But seriously, who cares? She's your Grandma, she won't be around much longer. Just say something that will make her feel like she made a difference (she's only trying to help, albeit in an ignorant way) and continue like normal.
