do you know what the problem with grups* is? they've been alive too long. i know that that seems really obvious, but it's true. when a person goes through life, they mold and adapt to their environment. if the environment changes drastically, which it always does, they can't really change. they're stuck-in a rut, as flower said. as liberal as they may be, they just can't really understand things like, for example, that rinsing dishes before putting them in the dishwasher is useless and wastes tons of water. they can't comprehend this because they grew up with faulty, old-fashioned dishwashers. even if they believe you, they find themselves rinsing out dishes and bowls out of habit. habit. it's what's destroying our world.
*a slang term for grown-ups stolen from an episode of star trek.

yes, but I fell like that is only true for some parents. that truth works much better when applied to grandparents.
that's probably because grandparents are already so bewildered with change that they'll believe anything. or it could just be your grandparents, lola.
