Give me sum more of that dim sum! But wow hanging out with people of a different generation is so underrated. I feel like society tends to discount the older people because they're slow or whatnot when in fact they are the most experienced. It's heartwarming to know you treasure your grandma and hang around with her friends a lot.

Yesss! Sometimes you have to learn how to read between the lines of the slowness of the older generations, highly recommend spending time with people older 💗

I should have read your post before going out with my girlfriend's family for dim sum. They asked me to name a dish I liked and I said xialongbao as it was the only dish I could remember. I didn't realize it was Shanghainese cusine!

Hanging out with my mom and her friends has also given me a different view on how I see age. After seeing her friends (older than 65) dancing at a party after midnight on the beat to fast paced music, I began to rethink what "old" means to me. Anytime someone mentions somebodies age in a conversation, I tend to automatically say, "oh that's quite young."

Haha it’s okay, I love xiaolongbao regardless, I don’t mind breaking the rule myself 😂

Thanks for sharing that! I love hearing people of all ages enjoy life the way they do. 🩵🕺
