If you’re a person of a certain age – a person who has children of her own, now, and probably has a cabinet full of your grandma’s hand-me-downs of her own – then there’s a good chance you had a standard issue grandmother.
Sure, they had different backgrounds and stories and personalities, but they all had the same crap in their houses.
