IRAN:Iranian Grandmothers Refuse to Evacuate, Claim It�s �Just a Phase�

Across Tehran, a new resistance movement is forming�not from youth or rebels, but from the nation�s grandmothers. Citing a lifetime of surviving revolutions, rations, and emotionally repressed sons-in-law, Iranian grandmothers are flat-out refusing to evacuate. �This isn�t war,� said 84-year-old Zahra, slicing cucumbers. �It�s just weather with sound effects.� Many have doubled down on routines�baking, gossip, and judging the neighbors. When urged to flee, one matriarch replied, �And leave my tea set? You�ve lost your mind.� Some have begun hosting �shelter socials,� serving cardamom cookies and unsolicited wisdom. �What�s a missile compared to raising five boys with no running water?� asked one woman as others nodded. Authorities attempted persuasion, only to be guilt-tripped and sent home with Tupperware. One official noted, �They scare us more than the air raid sirens.� SOURCE: http://bohiney.com/random/
