I wonder how many folks remember something their grandparent(s) told them when they were growing up that totally shocked them.
One day when I was high school-1950's era-, one of my friends and I were discussing dating and the convince of having a car as compared to my grandmother's youth when all they had were horses for transportation. Grandma (born in 1889) agreed with us that having a car to go on a date was great, but you always had to be alert went driving, whereas "the horse knew the way home". This comment from my 70 year old grandma stopped us both with absolutely no comeback.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
