    A snake eating it's tail. A teenager in their prime engaging in sex and producing offspring.

    A grandparent at 40- the result.

    Dying at 80 with 15 grandchildren and 37 great grandchildren.

    News flash: that was COMMON a couple generations ago! My grandmother's first grandchild was born when she was 41. Her daughter (my aunt) was a grandmother at 43.

    I don't think 40 is really all that young to be a grandparent. Moreso now than for previous generations, but that just means that you had a kid when you were twenty, and that kid had a kid when they were twenty. Not terribly unreasonable. Seems young to me, but my mom was twenty-one when I was born.

    Teenagers in previous generations never had sex.

    The progressives will be putting old people to sleep pretty soon anyway, so no worries.

    This thread started stupid and got worse. I move it be closed and allowed to die the death it so richly deserves.
