At thirty-two years of age I've learned advice given free is mostly brushed off or, given in bad times, so it doesn't settle.Everything your told, from a story you're told by some random old dude waiting in line in the buffet line or waiting while getting your engine oil done, usually never thought of again to something your Grandfather told you and you heard it but blown it off.......
But some day, one day, sooner than you think. No matter how you reacted or received the advice whether you were one of those who blew it off or the type that never thought twice about it, the advice they were kind enough to share with you out of their collected wisdom of years of experiences should be earned knowledge, it's always clever enough to be remembered.. It always comes in useful or handy in use in day to day life.
So from now on take more respect of the elderly and their wisdom, don't assume they don't deserve just as much if not more than you and me. Plus they might say something you'll find useful later.
So no matter how annoying advice may be or old stories & fables, pay attention, for if they are not interesting they are entertaining and hey they just might be the words of wisdom that may just change your future....

I so relate to what you've said about our elders. I was raised with grandparents & a Great grandmother & I always enjoyed her stories of what things were like in her day. Most kids don't get that these days. In fact, even when I was 18 & through my 20's & 30's I always enjoyed being around people older than me. Keep writing, you're spot on!
