There may come a time that I will be a little like my grandmother, and I will offer any curious children – either my own or those of my cousins – the lessons of my life that I know I can impart to them
My grandmother Leticia was not a technology-inclined person, but she was strong-willed and kind enough to teach you things if you were inclined to learn something from her and willing to ask.
I remember one of the earliest things she taught me as a child was how to sew by hand. With enough thread and a needle, I learned I could repair a sock tear, or turn a bunch of unused socks into a makeshift rag.
Socks-to-ragmaking is a simple skill I learned quickly in the short sessions I had with her as a bored child, but it’s one I grew up forgetting because of all the new things I could do instead with technology, like talk to people on a telephone, or watch cartoons on a television, or play Tetris on a computer.
