He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought

Grandmother Tips by Chacho Puebla
For a long time I’ve been wanting to do something with one of my sisters, my great-aunt and typography.
Not all together, but it just turned out that way.
As my son gets older and I get more grey hair, I wonder what kind of advice will I give to my grandkids.
My three grandmothers where always giving me sermons instead of tips. “Be careful with your money”. “Don’t get involved with that girl”, “Save”, “Get a haircut, you look like a hippie”, and all those classic parent, grandparent comments.
When you’re younger you think you’ll never fall into that same kind of discourse, until you find yourself talking about stupid (cliché) stuff with your kid, about how important school is and if you don’t have a degree you’re nobody. I hope I can give better advice some day. In the meantime, here are some tips my grandmother should have given me.
