Grandma Isn't Grandma Anymore

I can get used to the idea that the image of the grandma sitting in her rocking chair or baking cookies is a thing of the past. That's not a problem for me.
I mean I am a grandmother and I am not like the grandmother of old armed with a broom, sweet sayings, and baking apple pies. I am active like a million other senior citizens.
What I have a hard time with is the idea of the grandma that is out there ordering hits. The grandma who has a list of people she wants eliminated from the face of the earth.
I saw a show today about grandmas that are ordering hits. Yes, it seems to be happening more often than you think. Or at least more often than I think.
Apparently there was a grandma who decided that her hubby had become a fuddy duddy and she no longer wanted him around. And then, there was a problem with her son who disapproved of her new lifestyle once her hubby was gone.
The next thing you know she wanted a man who disrespected her to be banished from the earth. Fortunately she was caught before the third person bit the dust.
I know the world is changing but really...

If you think about it that image might have been correct in a time when women had many children and the kid who drew it was the 9th child of a 10th child @jabouk @hazysue @hatley didn't women back in the 15th and 16th centuries age quicker because of having so many children or were very poor or any number of other troubling problems?

Well, each of us has a different memory of our grandmas, some never got to know theirs others had active ones @HazySue I don't know who came up with the idea that all grandmas were old, feeble, loving and witless but many women who had children when they were teens would have been young grandmas if their kids were also teens when they had kids.

Although most grannies I know (including myself) aren't sitting home knitting I don't know any who are putting hits out on people.

Some people just don't improve with age do they? I wonder what she got up to in her earlier years.....

@41CombedaleRoad to tell the truth, I was surprised at how many senior citizens have been reported to order hits. I don't know if they were a bad apple all along or if they just became so hardened as they got older that life just doesn't mean as much any more.
