Reply #21: No sterotype is worth a damn.

My grandma is an avid tea-drinker. She's also a conservative who would probably dump some cheap tea at one of those silly teabagging parties if there were one going on near here. I think she watches too much Fox. But I love her anyway.

She's a great lady, just has some strange political opinions. Once she said to me, "They're going to force socialized medicine on us whether we like it or not." I responded with, "I certainly hope so, but I wouldn't count on it." I didn't point out the fact that she already has socialized medicine in the form of medicare, augmented by a great, life-long, affordable insurance plan provided by one of those evil, liberal unions. (UMWA. My grandpa's benefits.)

And boy does she love her tea. So much so that we grandchildren like to give her fancy varieties of tea and pretty little teapots and cups as gifts on holidays. They're always a hit.
