In reply to the discussion: You get to have angry sex with one Republican. Who is it? [View all]Chan790
(20,176 posts)64. That reminds me of spending time with Grandma.
Grandma had a list of conversational topics that in her mind it was inappropriate to discuss in front of black people...that was odd and she never really seemed to grasp that if she was uncomfortable saying it in front of the Jamaican woman who lived next door (a professor of Black History) that perhaps she shouldn't be saying it at all.
The contents of said list were odder though and included things like the price of produce, the 1920s (Grandma had been a flapper), Jazz music, World War II, poetry (Grandma was a moderately-successful poet and was published in several mainstream magazines) and other people's bad fortune.
