I have to agree with Garth Vader on this one. While you do hear stuff about selling grandmothers, usually the saying is about selling one's own mother.

Mothers are worth more than grandmothers in the current market.

Yeah, I heard even ming wouldn;t spend a fiver on his own mother

Sounds like the colonial types have advanced a generation in the ancestor-trading-market.

In real English, grandmothers are the ones for sale in exchange for meeting ambitions, not mothers. I expect us and the Germanians got the deal from our shared north-Yooropian linguistic heritage.

Selling mothers in law is even better though

Consider the practical aspects. You need your mother to pick your dirty underwear up off the floor and to answer the door and phone.

Grandmothers, on the other hand, are expendible.

I'm surprised you haven't learned how to do that yourself by now, Zkribb.
