Translating here. “You know, the Dutch always say Belgians are stupid.. but sometimes, we really are stupid”

But nah in more practical terms, probably wash your face. That woman looks astounding for 93.

And your grandma? If you knew her

I didn't know either of my grandmothers. One died when I was ten, the other when I was twelve. I mean I knew them but I didn't really know them if you know what I mean. Same with my grandfathers, only they both died before I was born.

I do have a set of grandparents who were my mom's foster parents when she was a teenager in the foster care system. That grandfather, before he passed away, gave me a love of foreign languages, playing instruments, and being a life long learner in general.
