How old is Grandpa????? Stay with this ,the answer is at the end .You will be surprised!!!!

One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events, The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at school, the computer age, and just things in general. The grand father replied : well , let me think a minute , I was born before TV, penicillin, polio shots, frozen food, contact lenses, frisbees and the pill.There were no credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens , man had not invented air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air , your grandma and I got married first and then lived together .Every family had a father and a mother.Until I was 25, I called every man older than me , "Sir" and after I turned 25 , I still called policemen and everyman with a title "Sir". we were before gay-rights, computer -dating ,dual careers, daycare centers and group therapy. Our lives were governed by good judgement and common sense.    We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privelege , living in this country was a bigger privilege . We thought fast food was what people ate during lent. Time - sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends -not purchasing condominiums. We listened to the Big Bands , and the President's speeches on our radios.If you saw anything with"Made in Japan " on it it was junk. The term 'making out" referred to how you did on your school exam, Pizza Hut , McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of, 'hardware "was found in a hardware store and " software" wasn't even a word and we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby, No wonder people call us "old and confused ' and say there is a generation gap ...And how old do you think I am ?   I bet you have this very old man in mind.... you are in for a shock! Are you ready ???? Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time.This man would be only 59 years old!!!

  1. Who wrote this?

    Better to put an introduction to the story with a question for the other students to answer and put a link to the rest of the story and then the posting would be much more interesting!
