I get you. That is the mindset of a lot of people to this day, unfortunately. Not denigrating your memory or your grandfather. I've seen that mentality up close. It's just insane to me that it hasn't died out in modern times.
Die out? That's at least a couple centuries away in the future in the deep South. My grandfather had a mean streak. He would drink moonshine and then go into a rage causing all of his 8 children to flee out the windows and back door into the woods in fear of their safety. He had mellowed out in his later years but still drank lots of moonshine. He was also incredibly ignorant, he believed that grandma shouldn't look through her new glasses too much because she would wear them out. You have no idea just how ignorant they are in that part of the country. My dear sweet aunt who takes after the most sweet person in the world, my grandmother, is a died in the wool Trump supporter. I stay off the topic of politics because I love her too much.
I have some weird sleeping problems (outside of kids) that like to show up once in a while. I don't know if it's like sleep paralysis, or how to describe it but it's happened 3 times since I've been married that I have woken up or felt like I was kind of awake but also in a really "real" dream and in this dream while I was trying to wake up, something happened that caused me to scream and that scream came out in the real world. Happened this morning at about 2pm scared my wife quite a bit. I've been up since then.
