How old is 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 and the pill...
There was no radar, credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens...
Man had not invented air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers and man hadn't yet walked on the moon...
Your Grandfather and I got married first and then lived together...
Every family had a father and a mother...
Until I was 25, I called every man older than I, 'Sir' and after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir.'
We were before gay rights, computer dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by good judgment and common sense...
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions...
Serving your country was a privilege...
Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins...
Time sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends,not purchasing condominiums.
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters or guys wearing earrings...
We listened to the Prime Minister's speeches on our radios...
If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk.
The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam...
Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of...
Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a tram and a coke were all less than 50 paisa...
In my day"grass" was mowed, "coke" was a cold drink, "pot" was something your mother cooked in and "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby. "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office, " chip" meant a piece of wood, "hardware" was found in a hardware store and "software" wasn't even a word.
And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby...
No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap...
and how old do you think I am?

I bet you have this old lady in mind...
you are in for a shock!


pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time...

This Grandma would be only 55 years old....:-)
