Neither had I. Every day, you can learn something new. My mother used to tell
me almost daily to mind my P's and Q's, and I'm sure she didn't know what it
really meant, being a confirmed teetotaler. And in my most recent post, I used
the term "immediate family." What the hell does that mean? None of them are
"immediate."
And I guess I forgot (gasp) about my children and grandchildren, who would be
considered "immediate family." I was thinking about those of my generation, and
before.
Just getting old and having some occasional confusement.
