There’s an E.A. Poe short story called The Spectacles, about a young man who, um, fell in love with and was all set to marry a well-preserved lady who turned out to be his great-great-grandmother. :eek:
Another example of the opposite end of the spectrum:
I was born in 1957.
My dad was born in 1926.
His dad was born in 1890.
And his was born in 1846.
We currently have 5 generations alive in our family and no births under the age of 18…
My great-grandmother will be 88 this year.
My grandmother will be 71.
My mother is 51.
I’m 29.
My oldest biological daughter is 10.
My great-great grandmother was alive until I was 6 years old. It’s conceivable, as my great-grandmother is not in bad health physically (though she has Alzheimer’s) that she could live long enough for my daughter to one day (FAR, FAR into the future…) have a baby and give us a six-generational family. The women in my family tend to live very long lives.
But apparently, the panties fall quickly from the trunk.
This thread is reminding me of one of those anti-drug PSAs from a few years ago. Teen girl and her parents are awaiting the results of her home pregnancy test, because, y’know, weed leads directly to unprotected sex. Anyway, it’s positive, and the subtitle says, “They will be the youngest grandparents in town.”
Even at the time, I thought, “Don’t be so sure.”
It’s those who breed who will inherit the Earth from those of us who don’t.
Hell, in India I saw tubal ligations performed on 17 year olds who were married mothers of 3.
Technically marriage in India is illegal for girls under 18 and men under 21, but we were in a very rural area. I’d say great great grandparents by 60 would be about standard for that area…if they lived that long.
…and I suspect she still is.

Our line is similar.
My grandson was born in 2009
My son was born in 1980
I was born in 1957
My father was born in 1921
His father was born in 1873
His grandfather was born in 1851
His great grandfather was born in 1826
All of my grandparents are pre-zombies.
And apparently when it hits the ground, it explodes and sends seeds all over the place.
The donation idea is nice, but maybe you should send *them *to Planned Parenthood instead.
I’m 45, and still mildly shocked when people I went to high school with post pictures of their grandchildren on Facebook. We can’t be old enough for grandkids, can we?
:eek: 
I will be 35 in a week. A girl I went to High School with posted pics of her grand-daughter on her Facebook page. I was shocked by that, especially since a lot of my friends my age haven’t even had kids yet.
My mother had me at 18. I had my daughter at 20. My daughter is 20 now, and receives a high five every day that she doesn’t get knocked up.
I just ran into a woman I haven’t seen in a while. She is now 79, and mentioned that her 49 year old grandson had seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Remember to add six years to all the ages mentioned in this thread, since it’s six years old.
At my 15-year High School Reunion, two of my classmates were already grandmothers.
Doesn’t even seem that unusual. Waiting until later in life to have children is very much a modern convention (brought about by industrialization and modern medicine, among other things). Young women are typically fertile as soon as they go through puberty, and the norm throughout 99% of human existence (and still today in some parts of the world) has been for them to start bearing children pretty soon after that.
They can have the place, for all I care. Part of the reason I haven’t had and don’t want kids is I don’t want to inflict this shit on anyone. I would have chosen not to be born if I had the choice.
All of my zombies are 18 year old grandparents.
