Whistler's Grandmother


My 16 year old granddaughter surprised me by skillfully whistling complicated tunes, reminding me of my grandmother, her great-great grandmother. It seems that she was also a whistler but her mother considered it to be inappropriate behavior for a young girl. She loved relating the story of her mother stating that, "Whistling girls and setting hens will come to no good end." I can't even imagine her reaction to the tight jeans, low-cut shirts, excessive makeup and behavior of our modern girls!
