Not with my family. The parents of my parents had survived the Great Depression and World War II. Spending time with them akin to how they raised their own kids. I best remember learning lessons in gardening, furniture repair and sailing. That went on to an “inheritance” of sorts by me teaching the same lessons to the next generation.
Since Elly and John are paying for college as well as well as providing food on the table, clothes, toys and a roof over Michael’s head all throughout his childhood, one can only imagine their position on the cool factor.
They already did that one, where Elly was cleaning off a car in a snowstorm. A man approaches her and asks if she needs help. Elly launches into a tangent about how she is perfectly capable, stopping just before she starts singing “I am Woman”.
