LOL sometimes grandma's aren't too grandma-like. At one point in their lives they were young and pretty too

My mom came from a large family and I asked my grandma why did she have so many kids. Her reply "I just liked doing it with your grandfather too much... and before we knew it, there was another baby"

My uncles were telling me the birth years of my mom and her siblings. She is the youngest of 6, but I did not realize that there was a 4-year age gap between my mom and the 2nd-youngest sibling.

Uncles casually shared that Grandma was a baby-making-machine for 5 years in a row, "She was a good Catholic girl."

lol, I can hear Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" lyrics now. Great song and very controversial back in the day too.
