I love how the SK boys are like

“I fear no man…but that thing”

Cut to sweet elderly grandmas who whip tails in defense of children

“It scares me”

Was scrolling through the tag and found where both Sun and Moon were startled by a grandma going to defend her teenage granddaughter from being hit on 😂 Grandmas are no joke

Grandmas are an enigma to them XD

They fear the wrath of Mrs. Bransen, the tenant, nearly every day lmao

So here it is…the third picture in my knitwear series. I had abandoned it, but playing around with textures on the “Coat” series made gave me the confidence to have another crack at it and finally finish it. I’ve never drawn an older lady in my life, so this was a real challenge in more ways than one, but I learnt a lot from it.

When my grandma heard that Timothée Chalamet was in Wonka she apparently said “oh isn’t he that actor that’s really attractive”

and I'm gonna get on my knees,

Would you kick me in the face, please?

It'll make whatever I say sound like poetry,

and as my gums begins to bleed,

The words will fall like teeth,

and whatever we had locked up now is free.

quora (a q&a social media site, like yahoo answers, but higher quality) used to have a lot of questions of the form "how would you explain X to your grandmother?" Where X was usually some mathematics or physics concept. Things like:

How would you explain quantum mechanics to your grandma?

Category theory?

General relativity/space-time?

Bayesian statistics?

(this was before quora made it so that you got paid for asking questions that generated engagement, thus inundating the site with troll questions; back then quora had decent questions)

One of my friends, who had a fairly large following on quora, had two grandmothers (out of four, including step-grandmas) who had PhDs in mathematics. He used to love answering these questions like,

"I would say [extremely abstract explanation with analogies to far more esoteric concepts than the question was asking],

But my grandma's an algebraic topologist, so your mileage may vary."

One time some fellow quora users we knew irl asked him about this, since he's generally very sweet and opposed to trolling/being needlessly rude to people online, and someone asked him why he didn't feel bad about ignoring the spirit of the questions, and essentially poking fun at them in front of his large following,

And he said, "well the thing is that these questions are actually kind of rude to grandmas. they act like all grandmas are the same, just some blank slate for you to explain things to, when in fact grandmas can have quite varied interests and knowledge. I'm just responding to the questions' offensiveness in kind"

And then he mentioned how nobody asks "how would you explain [science concept] to your dad?", right?

Because society thinks of fathers as diverse and varied, so why aren't grandmas viewed as a similarly diverse group, when they actually are, and as someone with four grandmas (through divorce and remarriage), he would know (even though two of his grandmas apparently had very similar interests to each other, lol)

.

And I just. Those questions always left a bad taste in my mouth, too, but I had never thought to explain it this way (which I guess is why he was a quora influencer and I wasn't, lol)

I also had more than the normal number of grandmas (grandpa was double married (poly marriage was legal back then)) and like, yeah, each of my three grandmas had a very unique and interesting story.

Two of my grandmas ran away from home to go to university when their families didn't approve of women getting educations. One of these became an electrical engineer.

The other studied law (fully funded on government merit scholarship) and became an understudy to the equivalent of a justice of the supreme court (under the nationalist government, which unfortunately led to her being subject to denunciation rallies later on). She was also into martial arts and knew some gorgeous forms with a sword. (She was the grandma I was closest to because she raised me for a few years when I was a kid)

The other grandma (the one who didn't go to university, grandpa's first wife) was an avid storyteller who could keep all the neighbourhood kids entertained for hours from stories told from memory (her language had no writing system), and also a master at embroidery. She also easily won over my mother and my aunt's love even though they only met her in their early teens (my grandpa had hidden her from their mom, his second wife) and she didn't speak any Chinese, and my mom and aunt only spoke Chinese.

Like, yeah, grandmas are a diverse group and it does suck that society generally doesn't regard them as such

In the absolute highlight of my week, I was talking to my (very sheltered) grandma (Lived in a village of a thousand people all her life in an absolutely orthodox family, has trouble with the concepts of multiple countries and time zones, absolutely unaware of a thing such as homosexuality)

I told her that these days even two women or two men can get married. And then if they want children, they can adopt. And she's like oh I haven't heard of that, is this more of a thing in foreign countries ( we live in India). I explained yeah, but there are people in India who do it too.

She pondered a bit about, yeah they can't have biological children (didn't want to go into the whole surrogacy sperm donation thing), but adoptions great! A child gets parents and parents get a child!

Then for the part I was absolutely not prepared for, she proceeded to ask me about the sex. Keep in mind this is an 80 year old woman who reads scriptures and mythological stories all day.

The way she asked was also amazing, because we don't share the vocabulary for sex, or lust, or sensual desire. She tells me a story about Diti and how she really wanted her husband Kashyap one fine evening and Kashyap kept saying no "because it's evening time and the gods will curse us" (amazing reason to not have sex Kashyap, 10/10, gonna use this when I'm not in the mood next time)

So my Grandma says, what do these two married women do if they feel like that. And I am speechless. I did not expect that from my sweet grandma. And idk what to say. So I tell her, well they get married when they're in love with each other (arranged marriage is the norm here). She's like, yeah ofc and looks at me like I'm not understanding her question. "Love is awesome, but" proceeds to tell story again, "what do they do for that?"

One of the great regrets of my life that I was not ready for that and told her a lesbian story from mythology and moved on.

I am in awe of this wonderful woman.

I am so so happy. What a wonderful woman. I hope someday when I encounter a strange concept I've never heard of, I respond to it with that open curiosity and acceptance.
