Michael Hopcroft Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Two reindeer from a local farm (yes, there are Oregonians who raise reindeer) have been sent to the Oregon Zoo for the holidays. (I've often wondered how creatures used to warmer or colder climates adapt to being in a zoo in a different climate zone.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Well, I did get a blow to my self-esteem. When engaged in small talk with a woman working at Subway (getting a meal one night after work) she was talking about her little kids (age 2 and 6 months). And she asked if I had any children or grandchildren? Hit me a couple of minutes later, when I got back to my car. Grandchildren? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Once you are 33 you can legally have grandchildren. You father at 16 and your kid has a kid when they are 16 and 9 months. So don't sweat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yep. Remember that every great-grandparent you meet is confessing to you a family history of teenage pregnancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Bushido Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Just now, Cancer said: I met my great-grandfather (he died when I was 14 or so) and my mother was 20 years 5 months when I was born ... so .. guilty, I guess. The others in that line were 24 and either 20 or 21 (3 years after she graduated from high school) when they dropped their sprogs. Egad; I should have proof read better. My apologies to Cancer and the others. While teen pregnancy is the most common thing leading to a "four generations!" photo, I left out the second "great." Great-Great-grandparents. There has been a staggering influx of holiday themed "five generations in one holiday-themed photo!" photos popping up the various feeds I tend here and at work, and no one has really paid mind to what this indicates, in terms of human longevity versus the length of the gestational period: However, I have also been taught that "Congratulations on getting knocked up at 14, all of you!" is not the proper response to this. What a world.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't sweat it Yeah, I do remember an obituary, 10 years ago, where a woman born within a day or 2 of me (possibly maternity ward mates, I suppose) she died at age 33, leaving 2 children, and a grandchild. Still, the first time hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
