Don't MakeMe Laugh

"My ancestry consists of a mixture of Native American, English, and African descendants. As my grandma used to tell me, my Native American ancestors came to this country in the mid 1700's. They were apart of the Shawnee tribe. The English part of my ancestry also came to this country in the 1700's to settle and start a new life. And the African side many of us know came to this country back in the 1600's or earlier as slaves, as trade from the Africans."

The only way to save this paragraph is to follow it by explaining your grandma's severe case of Alzheimer's disease. The alternative is that you are the one with the thinking disorder, and people with thinking disorders don't make good students.
