Grandmothers

In lieu of the upcoming Mother’s Day, I sat Sunday morning thinking about my grandmothers. They are both gone now, but the memories of both of them are still bright in my mind. They both were full of love and ummmm….advice. Some of that advice was odd to say the least. Nana: “Don’t use someone else’s wash cloth or you’ll go blind!!” Grandma: “Don’t drink nothing green! NOTHING! Even Kool-Aid! It could be poison.”

Yeah.

Neither of my grandmothers graduated high school, and outside of some of their more uncanny words of advice, they both were quite wise.

What I would like to know is, what is it like to have a grandmother who is book educated? Is it the same worldly and sometimes questionable advice? Is the love any different?

If I don’t find out from you all, I’ll have to Facebook it to get some results. After that, I will, dutifully, report back to you monkeys.
