I don't think it's shameful; in a way its respectful. Can ya really change the opinion of a 75 year old anyway? There's no point in rocking the boat with them at this point.

That's pretty much how I see it. I'm kind of my grandma's favorite, and it would kill her. I don't think my grandpa would understand, and if he did, he probably wouldn't care. The man's 84 years old this year. Don't know what I'll do when the day comes. *sigh*
