Answer

Pretty close. Some minor corrections:
-  "broke" rather than "breaked"
- You should either join independent clauses as in your first two examples with a conjunction like "and", or separate them with a semicolon, but not with a comma
- "discussing the causes"
- Watch out for Grandpa! Perhaps you mean ".. grandpa asked about me ..."?
