Friday, July 21st prompt
What is the best advice I have ever gotten.....My dads oldest sister, who was very much like a grandmother to me, had come from Pennsylvania to visit one summer not long after Kent and I had gotten married. She was staying at my mom and dads but would walk over to my trailer every morning to drink coffee with me on the back porch. On this particular day, we were talking about my mother and how she loves to know what is going on in every aspect of your life and is always ready with advice. (another one of my sayings, "I could just scream!") My aunt told me something then that made me almost ROTF, but it was good advice and I have tried to follow it ever since... "Listen to your mother, agree with her every word because she is your mother...then go home and do as you damn well please!" Her point was...don't let your mother run your household. Very well put and promptly taken advice!

There is a saying isn't there, something like grandparents and grandchildren get on well because they have a common enemy!! Although in your case in was an aunt!
I've heard a saying: grandparents and grandchildren get on well because they have a common enemy! THough it was not actually your grandmother, it sounds like it was helpful advice!
I do that with a lot of people only I call it - yes them to death and do what you will. Good advice!
