I say what men say. The last one I asked, and he was pretty typical, said 'I am a doctor. Or I was, until I retired'. So when people ask me, I do something similar. How many men say 'I am a husband' or I am a father', when asked what they do? I'm not saying we should all cite our professions and forget that we are grandmothers, but if people are interested to know what we do and are interested in, maybe we should start being more specific and define ourselves by our interests. And at the end, add on, 'I am also a grandmother to *.' Although for a couple of my friends, that really would be their GCs.
