Random: My Gandma can't tell the difference between Toni Braxton and Adele

To her credit, she stopped listening to music in 1979. I like to put my iPod on shuffle when I drive (I can't stand most of the crap on the radio) and Toni Braxton's [i]Just Be A Man About It[/i] started to play.

My Grandma was actually listening (normally she zones out) and she asked, "Who is this?"

I said, "Toni Braxton, this song is almost as old as me."

She quipped, "I didn't know they made this type of music when you were born."
(We have a running joke that I was born in 1940.)

Anyway, the song ends and Adele's [i]When We Were Young[/i] started to play.

Grandma instantly blurted, "Is this that Toni Braxton fella?"

I chuckled and said, "Toni is a woman, and no, this is Adele."

She nodded and said, "This isn't as bad as that Sunday guy."

I said (knowing whom she was referring), "I thought you liked [i]Cant Feel my Face[/i], you were grooving to it earlier."

She said, "Dancing to music and listening to music are two different things."

I just laughed, actually agreeing with her.

hey cud be twins lets be honest
That's [i]funny[/i]. My parents, who are still sharp octogenarians were talking to my best friend's son, (he was about 20 at the time):
(Mom): So I suppose like many young people you're into that---what is it---"hippity-hop" music ?
(Pop): Like that fellow, "Snoopy-dog" ?
