Alvin Fernald (aged twelve) talking with his thirteen-year-old baseball buddy last week:
Buddy: Dude, how old is your Mom?
Alvin: She's fifty-one.
Buddy: Dude!
Alvin: She had me when she was thirty-nine.
Buddy: Dude! My Mom's not thirty-nine yet!!
Sigh. Some days I feel older than others.
Too funny. My mom had me when she was 42 and my dad was 53. Now that I'm 30, and I tell folks that my dad is 83, they tell me their grandparents are!
