[QUOTE=Justin\_Bailey] What I’ve learned from the answers so far… Some people’s grandparents never die Some people put off marriage for a long time And there is no love for the Hardy Boys [/QUOTE] My paternal grandfather died before I was born, but I figured putting in negative numbers might skew the game, or be really depressing. Plus the question was most, not just me. ---

[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] My paternal grandfather died before I was born, but I figured putting in negative numbers might skew the game, or be really depressing. Plus the question was most, not just me. [/QUOTE] It makes a difference whether you interpret the question as referring to biological grandparents or to people who played the role of grandparents. Long before I was born, my dad’s mother died, and his father remarried. It was the latter woman, and not the former (whom I of course never knew), that I always thought of as “Grandma.” ---

In my mind “Relative” means Grandma or Grandpa or crazy old Uncle Stu and “Family member” means mom, dad, sister or brother. ---
