Monday 10^th September

At dinner recently we were discussing generational differences, responses to jokes etc.  Cam’s mother, for example, who is 95 and a very sweet, nicely spoken old lady, tells him very bawdy jokes.  “Does she understand what these jokes really mean?” he asked us, all baffled.  Well yes we think she probably does…

Liz told us that her mother was wonderful, and very popular with the younger generations.  Her fourteen year old great-granddaughter once said, “Grandma, can I ask you a personal question?  Were you a virgin when you got married?”  This very respectable matriarch looked at her kindly and said, “Nearly, darling.”
