I just got off the phone from my sister, who lives in Sault Ste. Marie. Her husband’s eldest daughter (by his first wife) is going to have a baby. This makes my sister a grandmother! Wow.

You do realize that this not only makes her really old, it makes you really old, too, by extension?

I’m trying not to think about it.

My sister became a grandmother last year. And a mother. So the uncle is a month older than the nephew.

I’m the same age as you **Sunspace**. Sis is 3.5 years younger. I never really worry about being a great uncle or what ever. But thinking how close 60 is is giving me the jeebies.😛
