This article discusses the peculiar meanings of the development of a popular culture within daily life, originating from the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren in popular classes. Based on long interviews and observations, this essay intends to portray how in this daily relationship both subjects change due to reciprocate influences. It is often believed that elderly people cease to change, however, based on the data collected, this concept deserves to be revised. The challenge of caring for children gave back to these elderly individuals a sense of hope which had seemed lost. Life changed and so did their habits and forms of thinking. Analyzing each small aspect of their daily lives - conversations, stories, advice given, songs, toys, television programs, relationship with animals and nature, we conclude that everything points to new horizons in living.
