This thread has me cracking up! And very thankful for my mother, who thus far isn't showing any signs of being one of the oldz. Her sister, however, will call me to tell me what she saw on Fox News and tell me how badly "my president" (because she doesn't accept him as president) is messing up the country. I love her dearly, but as she ages her filter is going!
Mom: "Oh, that's nice. John brought a gentleman friend to the wedding.
Friend: "What do you mean?"
Mom: "I mean, John's divorced and out of respect for his wife, he didn't bring a date, just a friend."
Friend: "Mom, John's gay. That's John's date."
Mom: "What? He was married. They have children!"
Friend: "Right, that's why they got divorce. They got divorced because John's gay. And that's John's boyfriend."
LOL at gentleman friend.
To be fair, I didn't figure out that my uncle's roommate was more than his roommate until I was in high school. (This might explain the Fried Green Tomatoes thread.)

I think when you get old, you just decide you don't give a shit about filtering yourself anymore, and say what you want/say things to try and get a reaction.
