For or better or worse, most of what my grandmother said was factually wrong. Fortunately I realized this early and did not create a Netflix documentary based on some dumbass and borderline offensive thing she said.

When you're talking about your hobby to anyone, remember this mindset:

I get to use a similar excuse whenever I get talking Historical stuff to someone. "What? No, I actually have a degree from a University in that. Yes, that makes me a bookwyrm, which is a kind of dragon. Rawr."

Reminds me of my kitchen. I don't have a lot of gadgets and stuff, but I churn out edible, tasty, and yet cheap meals at least once a day, every day of the week. Potatoes are our friends, they make so many tasty dishes.

There's an Italian comedian in the United Kingdom I like. He says he has an Art History degree which is usually a joke degree but "I got my degree in Rome, and Rome invented art and history".

This is a new meme, but there are many memes that cover this broad topic. Usually about the 11 to 12 split.

This always bugged me. I loathe teaching kids to lie. Though I do remember one of the last pieces of fatherly advice I got (I was in my early thirties for context). I was basically told, "Scalenex, you use honesty and truthfulness as an excuse to be lazy because manners and careful flattery and white lies take more effort."

I'm 40 now and I am still digesting this nugget, but I still believe one should encourage children to always tell the truth even if it is not immediately beneficial to do so. I don't think you should start "it is moral to lie sometimes" lessons till at least 15.

That said, I did not like having to pretend to love my grandmother's cooking. My grandmother's house was the one place my parents did not tolerate me being brutally honest.
