Were you afraid because she ewas so old?
was*
She had really kind of lost it when she was that old. She was from Britain, and was there during WWII. Whenever a truck would go by their house, it went over a bridge and made a really loud noise. She’d freak out and say “THEYRE BOMBING AGAIN THEYRE BOMBING AGAIN ITS THE BLITZ” and try to hide
Scared me
I was like 5
Jesus, that must have been very scary. In retrospect,many tragic things are funny and vice versa.
Yeah I could see how that might be a little jarring
It’s funny and terrible at the same time
Old people can be incredibly interesting and troves of knowledge and wisdom, though. My friend's grandfather is in his 90s and dying of cancer, but is still as sharp as a tack sometimes. He asked my last name and I told him and he immediately said "Danish!" - which it is.
Your last name is Danish? That's weird mine is Strudel, small world
Oh wow you’re Danish? I had another great grandmother from Denmark
Thought I was the only semi Dane here
Haha.
Maybe there are many of us.
My surname name is anglicized, but the records show it as Danish previously.
Same
I met someone in Germany who had the exact same sounding name but it was spelled differently

No wait, coffee cake
What even is coffee cake
I've heard of it but I've never had it before
Butter bread with cinnamon on top
My first name is Hebrew
Cinnamon and brown sugar
Coffee cake is good but you can only eat like 2 bites and you’re done
I make a delicious coffee cake. I'll bring it to the IE conference.
Most people in the south have Hebrew names but I figured that because of Biblical names.
It sounds pretty good
@ophiuchus well that's not too weird though, anything biblical
Yeah. It’s old English colonial period sounding
Not like. Shlomo
