Can't speak for grandparent but you can happily use mine

The very definition of a grandparent :)

There are more grandmas alive than ever in past. What is stopping you from doing it now ? Go live with grandma.

Your great-grandmother objected to it?

gedrap May 4, 2015 View on HN

Yes, grandparent, please consider this :)

Grandparent wasn't suggesting that.

Sorry, for some reason I assumed you were still grandparent. Which, given that, makes my response make no sense.

I see, apologize for ignoring the context. I missed your grandparent comment.

Grandparent is speaking from personal experience.
