When my grandmother was around 80 years old, her 85-year old sister explained to her what a lesbian was.

I'm not sure she ever recovered from the shock - LOL!

Gosh, it's hard to imagine a life that long, and that cloistered (and I mean that in a good way). I sort of envy her. She apparently didn't spend her life being assaulted by depravity and violence from every direction.
