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."

My grandma was a baby making machine but not a good catholic. One uncle is the spitting image of the landlord.

I found out a during covid when we found out the old land lord died and my mom clipped the obituary. She asked "who does this man look like?"

I said it looked like my uncle but old, then my mom dropped all the dirty family lore.

Grandma would get in trouble for grabbing the male nurses asses in the hospital too
