How old were you when....

[Glowworm]

You first became a grand/great grandparent?

I could have become a grandmother when my oldest daughter was 18 and I was 33 but she lost the baby so I had to wait until I reached the grand old age of 43 before I became a grandmother.

How about you?

 

[Ruthanne]

Sorry, I never became one as I waited too long to have kids and then got too old to have them.

Actually I prefer my wife's response. We would sometimes get harangued about not have children when we were much younger, my wife would fake an awful accent and say. "Dahling, I couldn't possibly have children." This inevitably got the response, "Why ever not?" To which she replied, "They might make me a grandmother." And the reply to that is, "that's the general way things work." My wife would then give her killer punch line. "I know, but I have standards, I couldn't possibly sleep with a grandfather."
A great way of saying, mind your own business.
