Millennials may have taken 2016 to heart, but it hasn’t seemed to affect The Greatest Generation much. I interviewed my 96-year old grandma to see how she felt about 2016’s triumphs and fails. What I found was, at 96 years old, you really don’t care about much going on outside your own family or town. I also found she wasn’t wearing her hearing aide (which is completely evident in her responses below). But, the main thing I learned from her was that she let 2016 roll of her back. And, maybe you should too.
