It's not all about you

Women talking in a cafe.

When I was about 8 years old (I think) I was granted a day off school on account of some minor childhood illness. I was delivered off to Grandma's to be looked after for the day. I expected it be would a full day of television, cups of tea, buttered crumpets etc. However, it turned out to be a constant stream of people popping in, mostly old women just like Grandma. I was well looked after of course, but I remember being amazed to learn that Grandma had her own friends!. Just like I had friends! - a revelation!
