My Grandma was born in her house in 1935. Her house was quite small and made from hard grey stone. They didn’t have an indoor toilet nor shower, they had a little house at the back of their big house which was sort of like a bathroom. My whole family is Orthodox and it has had a huge impact on our life today. My Grandma’s hobbies were baking and sewing. She would often help her mother with the cooking if there was anything to help with. The thing she loved the most though was sewing. My Grandma learned how to sew at the age of 7, she would often sew her clothes and her sibling's clothes. If needed, she would repair her parent's clothes if there was ever a hole or rip. When she wasn’t busy around the house, she would play with her friends and siblings. There was a little forest just next to their house and she said that it was a great place to play hide and seek in. Another game they often played was tag, she said that her parents often got mad at her and her siblings because they would get awfully dirty. Her Mum (my great-grandma) was more strict that her dad (my great-grandpa). Her Mum was a very uptight and posh-like lady. At the time there was no electricity or newspapers so they would get most of their news from the word of mouth of others in that small town. She said that it was difficult because you never knew what was true and what wasn’t. She said that she didn’t believe that WWII broke out as one of her neighbors told her and she didn’t think that they were that reliable. My Grandma had two kids, my Mum, and my Uncle, and she now lives very far away from the city she was raised in. Her house is most likely destroyed by now as it was very old in the first place.
My Uncle grew up in a normal house made out of red bricks. Their house had a huge backyard and my Grandma would often like to plant things there. My Uncle would play football in that backyard and would often destroy the plants, this would make y grandmother very angry. One of my Uncle's earliest memories is when his sister (my mum) was born she often got all the attention in the family. My uncle got very jealous so he said that he was going to kill my mum with a hammer. My Grandma didn’t believe him, but he went to the garage and got a hammer. Of course, my grandma stopped him and ever since then she would lock the door of the room my mum was in. My Uncle was very good at math and science. It was one of his favorite subjects at school. He ended up actually becoming a mathematician and works for a really big company in Serbia.
