Yea thats senseless, my grandfather was born in 1912 and my mom wasn't exactly a late in life kid for him, nor I for my mom. Math is hard for some people.

I guess she's used to dealing with people that have all 6 of their kids by 30.
Not really related but was thinking about it today. My grandmother on the other side is 95 and still drives 7 miles to town a couple of days a week where she volunteers to quilt and work with seniors at the old folks home, at 95. She makes me tired.

My step-grandparents just had their 75th wedding anniversary, they are 94 and 95 years old. Their grandparents fought in the Civil War, they remember talking to them about the Civil war happening. I'm only 37 years old and I'm basically only 1 person/degree away from a connection to the Civil War.
Oh well. My11 year old nephew made a comment recently about "way back in the 1900s", referring to the movie Forrest Gump(1994) which he just watched for the 1st time. I guess that was "way back in the 1900s" to someone that never lived in that century, it seems like ancient history to him. He spoke about it like I would speak about someone from the Civil War, lol.
Gotta remember, there are fully-functioning adults that can't remember a single second of the 1900s. People that are 18-20 years old right now don't remember living in a year that didn't start with a 20--

Didn't the last living person who had a pension from the Civil War or something die recently maybe a few years ago? Like a wife who married a civil war vet really young when he was age 65 or something and fought in it at like 16-17 and she lived to be like 100?

No thanks. I'm interviewing at the university. The same university, the same department with a professor well known for wearing his bolo tie. No thanks at all. Every fucking day. Even on his own TV show on the outdoor channel in a deer blind. JFC.
