A while back Vishal had couple of posts regarding zany behavior of someone he knows. I showed those posts to Old Lady and she felt that Vishal is being mean and a "bad person". I, on the other hand, felt that he was just telling it like it is.
Two plus years have gone by since then. Boy what a difference do they make! All our folks are older by couple of years. And with the arrival of Kittu, we are seeing more of them. Now Old Lady expresses the same feelings as Vishal.
Some folks were sound (e.g. My dad and old lady's mom) and they have become wiser and more understanding than ever. But the ones that were a bit zany have become a lot more so.
It is a source of amusement as well bit of an irritant. I guess that is how life is.
