Thelma Hershorn of Toronto, Ontario writes, "Here's one for you, and sadly, so true."

We are fortunate our grand-children live close by and visit us often.
When our seven-year-old granddaughter, Morgan, comes over, she loves to
watch her grandmother when she is baking. "Oma," she asked one day,
"where did you learn how to cook?"

She told her that she learned from her mother and passed on this
knowledge to her daughter. Someday, she continued, her mother will pass
on this knowledge to her. There was a short silence, "No, I don't think
so," Morgan said. "Mom puts everything in the microwave."
