LOL sneaky grandpa
Yeah, they had a curious relationship. She worshiped the ground he walked on and never let a chance go by to brag what an incredible man he was, even though you’d think they’d hate each other.
She was a stay at home mom...came from a long line of dirt poor tea-totalling bible thumpers of true blue WASP lineage. She never had a paycheck job in her life. Her mother was a school teacher and from a long line of school teachers. She dropped out of high school and refused to be a school teacher and married a Danish(gasp!) immigrant(double gasp!) who NEVER went to church, refused to go to church, never finished high school, and drank and smoked at the BREAKFAST TABLE! He was a staunch conservative and she thought conservatives were silly ignorant children.
They had 3 kids. 2 of them developed my grandmother’s political philosophies but my grandfather’s habits and my mother developed the opposite habits and politics.
