Old Ladies

I live with a trio of 24-year old women, but you'd never know it from the way they act. Starting now we are going to keep score. Each old lady thing is worth a point unless we judge it to be particularly old ladylike, in which case it will be scored as we deem fair.

Lauren
-Buys Butter Cookies (in the tin) [+1]
-Loves knitting [+1]
-Owns a corded phone [+1]
-Watches neighbors out the window and compares our snow shoveling job to theirs [+1]
-Drinks ginger ale and ginger beer [+1]
-Putting "the" in front of words like Google [+1]

Nora
-Loves knitting [+1]
-Goes to bed at 9:00 [+1]
-Really likes turtlenecks [+1]
-Putting "the" in front of words like Google [+1]

Sharon
-Loves knitting [+1]
-Talks like an English person [+1]

Scores thus far:
-Lauren: 5
-Nora: 4
-Sharon: 2

Unfortunately neither Pat nor I have particularly good memories. However, thanks to the magic of the internet we won't have to remember things for a particularly long time.
