HOW
OLD ARE YOU, GRANDMA?
One
evening a grandson was talking to his grandmother about current events.
The grandson asked his grandmother what she thought about the shootings
at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.
The
Grandma replied, "Well, let me think a minute. I was born before
television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses
& the pill. There
was no radar, credit cards, laser beams or ballpoint pens. Man had not
invented pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers or clothes dryers
(clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air).
“Your
Grandfather and I got married first - and then lived together.
Almost every family had a father and a mother. We actually believed that
a lady needed a husband to have a baby.
“Until
I was 25, I called every man older than me, 'Sir.' And after I turned
25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, 'Sir.' I was
born before gay rights, computer dating, dual careers, daycare centers,
and group therapy.
“The
Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense governed our lives. We
were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand
up and take responsibility for our actions.
Serving
our country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger
privilege. Draft dodgers were people who closed their front doors when
the evening breeze started.
“Time-sharing
meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends - not
purchasing condominiums. We listened to the Big Bands, Jack Benny, and
the President's speeches on our radios. I don't ever remember any kid
blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.
“If
you saw anything with 'Made in Japan' on it, it was junk. Pizza Hut,
McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. Ice-cream cones, phone
calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel. And if you
didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to
mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600,
…but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.
“In
my day 'grass' was mowed, 'coke' was a cold drink, 'pot' was something
your mother cooked in and 'Aids' were helpers in the Principal's office.
“No
wonder people call us 'old and confused' and say there is a
‘generation gap.’”
