But "the Gloomiest Generation" ever? People who went through the Great Depression could be pretty morose. They just had different ways of working it out.
“But “the Gloomiest Generation” ever? People who went through the Great Depression could be pretty morose. They just had different ways of working it out.”
My grandma worked it out by never throwing away bread bags or cool whip containers, because she figured she could find some use for them.
The only use I could see was a cluttered mess in her cupboards.
She always bought dollar clothes at garage sales or the thrift shop.
She would ask us what we paid for various items of clothing and then get furious if we gave honest answers.
We eventually learned that the correct answer was “these pair of jeans? oh they cost me $2 grandma!”
