There comes a time in each child's life, when after due consideration, they decide to seek a second opinion concerning something that was said or done in their presence, perhaps not for their ears or eyes but was taken in nonetheless. And it was for those moments God created old people. We're talking older than Mom and Dad old. Old as dirt old. So old everything on TV is a rerun. So old they remember when the Old Testament was in it's 1st edition. They have been around long enough they know everything, including Santa's phone number. These Ancient Ones of the past can only be the infamous "Grandma and Grandpa", although they can go by many other aka's. Some are warm and friendly, while others like to keep a fair amount of daylight between themselves and whomever they are talking with. They are sticklers on please and thank-you and not butting in. If you are respectful, they will answer just about any question, well maybe not when you ask it, and they may ask who was talking to you about whatever the subject of your question was, and they may tell you they will need to discuss it later, but they always are willing to discuss whatever it is you are confused or have doubts about.
G&G's keep secrets, but tell stories at the drop of a hat. Sometimes they sound a lot like your Sunday School teachers giving their lessons out of the ol' Egermeier's Children's Bible. Even when they don't sound churchy, there's always a lesson to be learned if you listen good.
Poppie, Just watchin' the sun go down
