Granny Next Question

Hello.
I have a question which has been confusing me for a little while.
I'm assuming that every one reading the 'Something Rotten' section has read the book of the same name, if not then don't read!!!
Ok.
Thursday says that she's only known Granny Next for 3 years. How come she hasn't realised this before TN4??
Please help me!
Thanks!

Good, good, good question! So good, I didn't even think of it until you asked! Um…I don't know why, but in a few days I can look it up. My books aren't with me at the moment, as I decided to leave them at home instead of bringing them to school in August in order to protect them. Very quickly I started to regret that decision.

No, wait! I've just remembered that my school library has the first three books! Yay! I'll go look at LIAGB now! (I think that's when Granny Next first shows up.)

I think all LIAGB says about Granny Next's role in Thurs. life is that GN is the closest thing Thurs. has to the Delphic Oracle.... Of course I could be wrong; it's happened before...

Hi.
Thanks.
Oh, the Nextian Universe, what an odd place.
However, we are odd, I mean, come on, we have the internet, yet for some reason, we haven't brought back the Dodo!
I'd love a dodo, they'd go great with my Appenzellar-Chicken.

She probably knew all along, just as she knew all the time that GN wasn't really her gran. Another one of thoise Aornis tricks.

I have absoloutly no idea. Lets pretend that it has some deep meaningful meaning, and let it be something like that.

Is it legal to talk a load of gibberish? I hope so, other wise I'm guilty! Yeah.
