One afternoon, a child I was chatting with his grandmother about current events, then he asked:
- How old are you grandma?
The grandmother replied: Well, let me think a minute ...
- How old are you grandma?
"I was born before television, the polio vaccine, frozen foods, Xerox, fax, contact lenses, the contraceptive pill and frisbee.
there were no radar, credit cards, the laser beam, the cell or inline skates. Had not been invented air conditioners, microwave ovens, dishwashers, clothes dryers and hung to dry to fresh air and no mortar was used blenders.
"Gay! Was a respectable English word that meant a happy person, cheerful, no meant homosexual, who affectionately called him "crazy." Lesbians, we had never heard about and the boys did not wear earrings. We knew the difference between the sexes, but no one thought to change theirs, we conformabamos with which we had. Neither had women hairdressers, unisex or aesthetic. AIDS
meant nothing, aids in English was an office assistant. Appointments were not made, and marriages were arranged by computer. Your grandfather and I were married and then lived together and each family had a father and a mother.
The man had not yet reached the moon and there were no jet aircraft for passenger. were not made heart transplants are not hearts and mending socks were revealed pipes, not arteries.

before the computer was born, the smallpox virus caused more files do not fall away. "Chip" meant a piece of wood, hardware was the hardware and "software" did not exist. There was the double
careers, and stress ... trauma or prenatal, or group therapy and psychologists.
bearing was played at the top, with marbles ... no to Nintendo. Until I turned 25, police call each and every man "sir" and every woman "ma'am" or "Miss"
Having a relationship was getting along with cousins \u200b\u200bor just a friendship. In my time of virginity did not produce cancer. Our
lives were governed by the 10 commandments, the good sense and common sense. We were taught to differentiate between good and evil and to be responsible for our actions.
We thought fast food was what people ate when I was in a hurry. Speaking of machines, there were no ATMs, ice cream machines in paleterÃas, the radio alarm clock, to say nothing of the video cassettes or video imagesetters. If anything, he said "made in Japan" was considered crap and there was no "made in Korea" or made in Taiwan "
had not heard of Pizza Hut, McDonalds or fast food or the bar video or disk. The sauce was a condiment, not dancing. There was no coffee instáneo or artificial sweeteners.
You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $ 600 (but who's he?) It cost 30 cents a liter for gasoline and one car was enough for the family. There were stores where you buy things for 5 and 10 cents ice cream, phone calls, bus tickets and Pepsi, all cost 10 cents.
In my time, "grass" was something that was cut and did not smoke, "Coke" was a soda and not inhaled and rock music was what made my grandmother's rocking chair. The "bunnies" were just a few animals and beetles were not Volkswagens. We were the last
generation that believed that a lady needed a husband to have a child. Now tell me .... How old do you think I have?
The boy replied: "More than a hundred?
