This thread got me to thinking about a pet peeve of mine. You know, that's part of what's wrong with America, there are few to no grandmothers anymore. I was lucky, my grandmothers looked like grandmothers, they aged with grace. Kids need a grandmother, not some painted up bar-fly, teeny-bopper wanna bee.
I guess that's why I like Barbara Bush so much, she didn't seem to let being the presidents wife go to her head. She was sort of plain and gray and the MSM used to give her hell for that. She always gave me the impression that being a grandmother was much more important to her than being first lady.
