Dear Young adults, please give older folk a break
I will be 63 on my next birthday and unfortunately am turning into my grandmother. She would be attempting to say one thing and something absolutely different would come out of her mouth. She would call my brothers and me by the names of our cousins and become so frustrated she would smack her hand against her leg and say "Oh sh*t. I am now dealing with the same. I was at Burger King this morning and my grandsons asked for Hash browns. My granddaughter told me she wanted French toast sticks but when I was placing the order I said "A five piece" and French toast sticks would not come to mind. Thankfully the person taking my order knew what I wanted and finished my sentence for me.

Hated at first sight
The first time I recall being hated at first sight was when I was 7 years old. It was the second day of school in the second grade. My mother worked for a company called Harris Hardwood and had gotten them to send a bunch of wood chips to my classroom for us to play with. The blocks were on the floor and the teacher told us to sit down in groups of 3 or four to play. I sat next to a boy and girl I did not know and immediately they both put their hands on the blocks and told me no. I advised them that my mother is the one who sent the wood to the school and they reluctantly allowed me to play with them.
