While DD and I were out our old neighbor that got hauled off while we are on vacation came back and tried to get into the house he used to live in. The family left shortly after he went to the mental hospital, I'm guessing his checks were paying the bills. The cops had to come and almost had to taze him. We always miss the crazy stuff.
I once ran across a family where the eldest became a mother at age 12, grandmother at age 23, great-grandmother at age 36. Her 12 year old great-granddaughter was pregnant.
I'm sure she's old enough to be a grandmother. Maybe not smart enough, but definitely old enough.

Who cares how old she is? Why is that even important?
She obviously was have an extremely bad day. I do hope it was a one time thing and the family gets help.
If it was a recurring thing, I hope she gets the maximum sentence allowed.

Who cares about anything? I just answered a question that was asked.
And you assume you are the only one being addressed?
Couldn't it be a general thought and more of a rhetorical question I posed?
There are millions of stars in the universe circling one specific point and that is not you.

Sorry I ever posted the original comment about her not looking old enough to be a grandmother. I did not think it would cause such a lot of comment.
Just meant it as a casual off the cuff comment with no deep hidden meanings whatsoever....

Karl, I don't think anyone else is sorry you posted that. It lead to a lively discussion, and that's what the board is all about.
I was never very good at figuring out a woman's (or girl's) age from looking at her face. And when I met women age 21 or older, who were a size one, wearing a bra size 32A or less, I realized I couldn't judge a woman's age by her figure either.

You don't need to be sorry for anything--I'm just betting she's quite a bit older than you think she is.
