My mother's mother has always been a very annoying person. She talks too loud, never leaves the house, and makes up stories to make her life sound like a big burden. On the other hand, both my grandfathers (dad's mom is dead)are really cool guys. So I always thought I'd grow up to be an old man because old women are like my grandma. I still kinna believe this. I know it's not true, but I still say stuff like "when I'm an old man" or whatever.
