most
little old ladies are
cool. theyr'e the kind of people who've
dealt with
bullshit all their lives and they've had
just about enough. they
tell their
sons/
daughters to
shut up when it called for, they buy their
grandkids candy before dinner (someone has to) and they usually don't give a
rat's ass about the little
petty things. as they see it, they've had a
good life so why
waste the
rest of it
sweating the petty things, or for that matter
petting the sweaty things (sorry, i couldn't
resist). little old ladies often have the
insight that we wish we had (but will only have when we're their
age), and always know the
exact right thing to say to us when we're either
confused,
distraught,
worried, or
bothered by
something.
my grandmother is a little old lady, and you know what, even though she may be old, i think that she'd be proud to be called one. my grandmother is one of the coolest people i know. she's strong beyond belief, becasue she's seen so much hurt and pain, along with joy in her life that she knows how to deal with it all. she lost my grandfather a few years ago, and misses him incredibly. not that she didn't before, but since then she's gained a new love for the rest of our family. we're all that she has left, honestly. and for that i'm proud. she's been a great grandmother, and so yes, as Jet-Poop says: be nice to them, they could be someones grandmother.
