It's amazing how different your relationship with your parents and relatives is when you are adults. Suddenly you hear all about their crazy and wild years. It's really cool actually, hearing about your relatives as swinging young folks and not just as the people who told you to clean up your room and to go to bed.
I should have been writing it all down so more generations can know that when my great-grandfather O'Conner asked you if you wanted your drink "ripe" to say no or you would get all booze and an ice cube and after only 1 or maybe two of those you would be on your butt as in the case of my uncle with his first experience having "ripe drinks" with Grandpa.
Hearing the stories is sure fun.
