I'm thinking I'll make a great old woman. I can bake bread, paint, quilt, crochet, and soon knit. My husband just rolls his eyes. Its a little strange I must admit but I figure those old women didn't learn to do all those things in their old age either. I'm just headed to become the classic old woman. Ha, ha!
Funny to think of, but by the time our generation is 'old', the standard of old people will be very different. Most of those who will make up the 'old lady' category will have lost or not ever cultivated those skills. Being an old lady will likely not mean sitting and knitting, but more like watching TV shows and eating fast food or something. Those of us will skills like that will be beyond 'old ladies'....we will just be old fashioned examples of history.
