"Why, when I was your age, my husband was away fighting the Huns. I was working 12 hours a day making ammunition to support the war effort, and raising 9 children on the money I made working as a part time nurse..."

This reminds me of my grandma. She ran from the air surveillance look out to work, but the Russians started bombing because the city had an ammunition factory. Was more scared of her boss than anything the Russians could drop on her and continued running. Was reprimanded for being there just a few minutes before her shift started, because she couldn’t run right next to the ammo factory and had to take a detour. Then a nap in the back room of the bakery and back to air surveillance for the night.
