:Grandmother conversation
Joe: Uh, and, uh, I mean, my, my father’s parents moved down to Florida when we were like eight years old. And, y’know, that, that was a bummer for us at the time, uh. But at least my mom’s parents lived around us, y’know, until we were teenager
Kristin: Mm-hm
Joe: …and we moved to Pennsylvania
Kristin: Mm-hm
Joe: But it’s uncommon these days. I mean the generations before us always had
their family right near them
Kristin: Right
Joe: I mean, I hear these stories from my grandmother. She says that her entire family lived in like one, y’know, on one block. And that wasn’t uncommon. I mean, a lot of the times they would, uh, the whole family would live in the same house. Usually people didn’t leave until they got married. And even if they did leave and get married, they lived just down the block
Kristin: Well, speaking of the same block… That, that, uh, made me think of my brother. My younger brother, when he was in high school, dated this girl and he whole family lived on the same street. And I can remember thinkin’ how strange that
was
Joe: Yeah
