The abuelo sin vergüenza skipped all that. He went straight to the finish line: It doesn’t matter what they think.
In Defense of the Abuelo Sin Vergüenza : Why We Need More Shameless Grandfathers abuelo sin verguenza
Traditionally, the Latin grandfather was a figure of quiet respect. The jefe de la familia . The stern face at the head of the table who gave you a firm handshake and a five-dollar bill for your birthday. Silence was golden. Repression was a virtue. The abuelo sin vergüenza skipped all that
You cringe. You whisper, “Abuelo, por favor.” The jefe de la familia
He has earned the right to be loud. He has survived enough decades to stop caring about what the neighbors think. He has watched enough history unfold to realize that dignity is overrated and that a good laugh—even at his own expense—is worth more than a stoic reputation.
So the next time your grandfather tells an inappropriate joke at dinner, or flirts with the nurse, or wears that ridiculous hat in public, don't shush him.
Of course, the grandchildren are often horrified. You bring your new partner to meet the family, and the abuelo asks, “So, when are you giving me great-grandkids?” before you’ve even taken off your coat.
