Grandmother Tips
Just a few tips that my grandmother should have given me, but unfortunately never did.
For a long time I´ve been wanting to do something with one of my sisters, my great-aunt and typography.
Not all together, but it just turned out that way.
As my son gets older and I get more grey hair, I wonder what kind of advice will I give to my grandkids.
My three grandmothers where always giving me sermons instead of tips. “Be carfeul with your money”. “Don´get invloved with that girl”, “Save”, “Get a haircut, you look like a hippie”, and all those classic parent, grandparent comments.
When you´re younger you think you´ll never fall into that same kind of discourse, until you find yourself talking about stupid (cliché) stuff with your kid, about how important school is and if you don´t have a degree you´re nobody. I hope I can give better advice some day. In the meantime, here are some tips my grandmother should have given me.

Esos consejos que mi abuela me debería haber dado, pero desafortunadamente no lo hizo.
Hacía tiempo que quería hacer algo con una de mis hermanas, mi tia-abuela y tipografías. No todo junto, pero parece que así se dio.
A medida que mi hijo se hace más grande y a mi me salen mas canas, me pregunté cuales serán los concejos que yo les daré a mis nietos. Mis tres abuelas, siempre me estaban dando sermones más que concejos. “Cuidá la plata”, “No te metas con esas chica”, “Ahorrá”, “Cortate ese pelo que parecés un hippie” y todo ese tipo de cosas clásicas de padres y abuelos.
Cuando uno es más joven piensa que nunca caerá en ese tipo de discurso, hasta que se encuentra hablando chorradas con su hijo, sobre lo importante de la escuela y que si no tenés un título no sos nadie. Espero mejorar esos concejos algún día. Mientras, algunos de los que mi abuela me debería haber dado.

At the start of her career, NIH immunologist Polly Matzinger disliked writing in the passive voice and felt too insecure to adopt the first person. So she listed her dog, Galadriel Mirkwood, as a coauthor and wrote as “we.”
Their paper was published in 1978 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine. When the editor learned Galadriel’s species, he barred Matzinger from his pages for the rest of his life.
