It ain't got noth'n to do with her be a woman, but my grandmother has slowed down a good bit the last few years, she is 79. She wants to help with tobacco and she can spike a good bit but can't pick up the sticks of spiked tobacco. The last few years I have been putting her in the pick up to pull wagons while they are loaded. Never really thought about it but when you are setting in a running truck and some one is holler'n at you from 30' behind the bumper "GO" and "Whoa" sound alot a like. She was easing up and I was going to hang a stick right in front of the axil, and hollered whoa, she heard go and stomped on the gas. Was lucky it just ran over my foot and the wheel scraped my shin. If I had my foot just a little farther into the wagon it would have broke my leg for sure.
From then on I tell all the help that when grandma is in the truck never yell any thing but "stop" and "go".
Like I said, could happen to any one no matter the gender but still a funny story about my grandmother.
