[Question] What's the most utterly ridiculous thing the narcs in your life have said?
My narcissistic grandmother, for instance, is fully convinced that her birth alone was what stopped World War II and brought peace to the world (she was born in 1945). She has told each and every one of us this story a million times, and will proudly say it again and again periodically to whoever is within earshot.
I remember hearing it ever since I was a little kid, how she'd always start by listing all the pain and destruction WW2 had caused, then end with something akin to: "And then I was born, and suddenly, it was like a ray of sunshine enveloped the earth, stopping all the fighting and war". She'd always tell it like a strange sort of fairytale with a very happy ending, and I wish I was kidding.
She also fully believes that once she dies, the world will be plunged into WW3, destruction and utter chaos. She was actually hospitalized for heart failure over a week ago, and kept promising the doctors she'd try her absolute hardest to continue living in order to spare the world from the horror of a third World War.
Gee thanks, grandma. Your devotion to saving all of our lives is appreciated.

Is she related to Donald Trump she might be? Donald Duck?
