<gasp!> Grandma wrong?! Never. But I never quite understood the reason
she didn't allow it? Language barriers to explain her reasoning existed
for sure, but it was just the rule and we all caught on quickly. As I
said, we could drink things during those Sunday afternoon meals that in
our own daily home were verbotten, or at least wayyyyyyy more regulated.
No one would bat an eye at a kid of 13 or so drinking wine or even
mixing a screwdriver up (gads!) but try pouring a glass of milk to go
with that meal .... ai ai ai!!
