Or grandmother, if it's more interesting/applicable/personal?
I was shooting the shit with my pop tonight. He was getting well into the wrapper and we starting talking heavy stuff.
Very long story short: My dad's dad worked in a bad saw-mill in northern Canada. Men worked 6-7 days a week, 12-hour shifts. Saw blades 12-feet high, teeth 6 inches long. Hands were lost, men got boiled to death in pools of boiling water used to cure the wood. Days off were spent working. Emptying out huge cisterns of red-hot coals.
He wasn't exaggerating and I'm editing for boredom/brevity.
So..What did YOUR grandfather do? Or YOUR grandmother?
Two generations removed. How have things changed? How has your perspective changed? ETC, ETC...
