the 2014 trivial drivel thread

[Teacher]

I don't want to steal Adub's thunder, but I FINALLY became a grandmother for the first time Jan. 6. I have wanted to be a grandmother for at least 20 years, and now that I'm too damn old to probably even hold him, my wish has come true. 9 lbs.- 23" long and also like Adub's daughter-in-law, she had to have a C-section. Don't want to brag (ahem) but he is probably the cutest, sweetest grandson a grandma could ever have.

You are not too old! Stop. Are you confined?

I read (or heard) that when a child is born, so is a grandmother. Congratulations! Unless you already have it, go out & buy your copy of Good Night Moon.

All of you who mention stealing someone's thunder crack me up.

Yeah, I am old - a lot of my friends are great-grandmothers. No, I'm not confined. I just like to exaggerate how awful old age is to make the rest of you dread it. AND to make you appreciate how lucky you are to be so young.

Thanks for the congrats - I am beyond thrilled - didn't think it would ever happen. I am one happy camper!
