"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words... When I was young, we were taught to be discreet and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise [disrespectful] and impatient of restraint" (Hesiod, 8th century BC).

Also:
"We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self control."
Inscription, 6000 year-old Egyptian tomb

Nice shot of a grandparents requirement, "you must listen or they'll never learn" (Rags, 21 century AD)...

Looks like the younger is presenting her project celebrating her grandmother. Well taken and capture of a moment.

Lovely.

I'm glad you took it in the spirit it was intended! .

Oh yeah, and to the OP, nice juxtaposition of old and young.

Thanks for commenting all, and love the Egyptian epithet.

Minor correction, Great-Grandmother. This is my grandmother on her 100th birthday talking to my niece, who is showing her the poster she made for the party.

Cheers,

Does that make you really old? I was wondering about "great", but better to err on the side of guessing younger...

Nice shot for the family album, too!
