"If You Want to Know the Truth about Anything, Ask An Old Lady"
My Mom had that grandma, “seen it all, heard it all, and don’t care anymore” mindset. My actual grandma on my father’s side had the same thing.
That’s one great thing about grandmas! There’s even a saying:

Their looks were all they had or all anyone valued them for, and now they’re mostly shot. No one’s competing for men anymore. They’ve mostly stopped working.
