Have you noticed that the older people get, the more opinionated and outspoken they become? My 94 year old grandmother is a sweet, holy, Norwegian, assembly of God pastor's wife. Over the past few years she has kind of surprised us at times with comments she makes. So tonight I was talking to her on the phone and mentioned that there would be another little Pereira joining us soon. First she said, "What brought that on?" and then without waiting for a reply she added, "What are you going to do, populate that whole area?" I said, "Grandma, YOU had SIX children you know." This line of reasoning didn't phase her in the least. "What are you going to do?" she asked, as if I am the first person in the history of women to have four children. We had a very similar conversation when I told her about the third child. I just laughed.
