Well, granny, you are real lucky. My parents have both died. My ex-husband's parents died many years ago. So there is only me (58), my daughters (35 & 32), and my grandsons (16, 14 & 11). The 16 year old has been told that if he tries "producing" any generations for many years to come (he was 14 years old when he told his mother he would make her a grandmother by the time he was 16!) he would be "losing" the ability to reproduce permanently!
