LOL sometimes grandma's aren't too grandma-like. At one point in their lives they were young and pretty too

My mom came from a large family and I asked my grandma why did she have so many kids. Her reply "I just liked doing it with your grandfather too much... and before we knew it, there was another baby"

My mom likes to say that every generation thinks they invented sex. We forget that our elders were freaks, too.

Shoot; the elders of today were the free love youth of the 60s.

I mean, no, the free love hippie movement was a relatively small counter culture.

Most Americans at that time were still staunchly conservative by today’s standards, even the young people.
