Please don't say you're old. None can say you're old just by talking to you. Age is nothing but a number.

I agree with you, every person is different. When you were describing your friend, I immediately thought of my grandmother because she likes to listen but is pigeonholed into what she already knows. Although I must give her credit for daring to have a cell phone and learn how to use it, after her children repeatedly insisted that she had to dare to learn. She did it.
