    One day you’ll wake up and realize people born on the year you graduated school can legally vote, drink, etc. A short time later those kids have kids of their own … and you are ( or are old enough to be ) a grandparent.

    The worst part is you’ll still mentally feel like you’re not much older than your late 20s or 30s.

      My older sister was a grandmother at age 34. 30’s is literally grandparent age to my great nephew and great niece who are approaching their teens.

      I dunno, I’m in my mid-50s and I feel like I’m about 100. The world today is just so different from that of my childhood in the '70s.
