<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 289871, member: 23"]Your Gram must have been from the same era/social class of my ex-husband's Gram. When I first met his family she asked about my parents. I said my mother worked in a shoe shop. Her nose wrinkled and she asked, distastefully, what sort of shoes she sold. I said, oh, no, she works in a factory making shoes. No further conversation. My biggest sin was sitting in the kitchen talking to the cook. I was told "One does not fraternize with the help." Not really why the marriage ended, but it sure didn't help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
