Pancakes and Cultural Differences

I've been making crepes a lot lately, and it always reminds me of this story about my grandparents. My grandmother Anne, was Polish-Ukrainian American, and she would make pancakes the Polish way, which was thick and fluffy. My grandfather Cy, was French-Canadian American, and apparently he wanted thin pancakes like crepes. Once, he complained one too many times about my grandmother's pancakes, and she hit him on the head with the frying pan! (Now you're going to think my family is violent, but I think it's kind of a funny story about cultural differences in the form of pancakes!)
