Attending the wake of a neighbor with my elder sister, it became an opportunity for me to refresh ties with our locality's older set. Knowing them since I was a kid, they as well saw me grow up and fellows would love to hear stories from them. I chance upon one who happens to be a relative of the decessed and chatted with her, not knowing I will be hearing the most shocking advice that any grandmother would ever give to her grandchild, a budding and lovely 14-year old teen. The old woman told me that she advice her grand daughter to keep herself tidy and pretty at all times to be able to sell ( hold on to your seats now folks ! ) her chastity to foreigners doing business in the area for a certain amount of money ! she even added that with her teen grand child beauty, she would definitely cost thousands that would change their lives forever. How could she give such ill advice to her own grandchild when she should be the one protecting her from such degradation? I was speechless for a moment and upon gaining composure gave her insightful advice as well. It was unsolicited yes, but I have done my best..

WOW!!! That is CRAZY!!! But it just shows that there are old fools as well as young ones... and that grandmother is a perfect example of an old fool. Quite frankly, I'm wondering if she gave her granddaughter's parent (which she raised) the same advice. But that is horrible.
