Fluid intelligence (the ability to deal with new situations and apply existing knowledge to a different situation) decreases with age but as long as you are kept in a stimulating environment, crystalised intelligence (your repertoire of knowledge and skills) can continue to grow for as long as you live. It's never too late to learn new things and we all do that every day. When you say grandmother, I know some pretty young grandmothers so don't let that or age stop you from getting the cogs in your head turning. Read books. If you want a book that makes you feel clever and teaches you a HECK of a lot about people, life and why people do the things they do (and how to read them) I highly recommend my first year psych text book. Not to heavy to read, tons of pictures and examples. Here is a link on amazon. It made me feel clever when I read it anyway! http://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Sixth-Alan-J-Fridlund/dp/0393977676

'Wanting to' is the first step. The next step is 'believing you can do' and the next step is 'doing something about it'.
I went back to work after 25 years looking after my children and was amazed at the changes in the workplace and I was also amazed by how easily I fitted in. I went to a couple of courses specially for 'Women going back to work' and they were a great help. Technical colleges have great courses and the great thing about being a grandmother is that you get the cheap rate.
Go for it - you have taken the first step.
Good luck.

Absolutely. There's many ways one can be "clever". One can be intellectually intelligent; one may know the best way to get things done. Even something that may seem as easy as falling off a log to you may appear a huge task to others - giving you the image of being "clever".

How would you define a clever person? You must have been clever enough to have become a grandmother.

Of course it's possible. It's never to late to teach an old dog new tricks, hehe! There's a lady on my degree course who's retired and just wanted to learn something new - good on her!
