Time marches.
My high school class of '63 just had its 50th reunion (I didn’t go). There were about 1,000 in my class, so I assume there were some great-grandparents.
Time used to march; now it flies like a bat outta hell.
I keep expecting my daughter to inform me of impending great-grandmother-hood. My grandson is 20, so it probably won’t be all that long. His father had 2 kids by that age. I have a teenage granddaughter too, but she is reproductively very well protected.
I’m in my mid-50s, which is considerably younger than Jagger IIRC. If I weren’t planning to die early I could probably make it to great-great-great-grandmaw :eek:.
I love the bit of trivia that the average age of the Rolling Stones is greater than that of the US Supreme Court.
The way the Stones hang in there, in another twenty years or so I expect to hear Mick will be a great-great-grandfather.
We had five generation pictures taken, in my family, before my grandmother died last year.
How old does it make you feel , I wonder, to realize your grandchild is a grandparent?
Wow. Jade is about my age, so I always think of her as a kid, you know, like me (I became a Stones fan when we were both about nine years old).
Then, occasionally I’ll walk by a mirror and realize I’m NOT nine years old ;). And this OP made me realize that, if Jade is about to be a grandmother, then I could be a grandfather now as well – but that’s crazy, because I have one child, and he’s not yet 3 years old.
So, this “Mick about to be a great-grandfather” thing is bizarre to me even more than for most people, because by chance 1. I knew everything about the Stones around 1979, but I haven’t been following their lives as closely since, so deep down my ideas about them are stuck in that time, and 2. I happened to have my first and only child at a much later age than Mick did.
Just goes ta show ya - clean healthy living leads to a longer life!
Remember that, kids!
