Sometimes my grandma is insipid, but I get a lot out of it because she tells me good stories. She tells me not to be candor because it can lead me to good deeds in the future. She learned it the hard way because she dealt with it before. She told me that back then working was hard but now I do not have to be indolence. I do not like it if she drones when she tells me stories. That makes her a good anecdote.
