Rule Britannia!! 29 year old to become a Grandfather!

[JR]

Guy becomes a father at 14 and is pissed that his 14 year old daughter is 11 weeks pregnant.

Seems to run in the family. His mother was 18 when he was born.

Happily, there will be six generations represented after the girl's baby is born.

I'm sure a book deal is forthcoming

This is a failure of a family to teach about sex. It's not even about teaching contraception, but about what sex is for. Even if you taught these rubes how to use birth control, they still wouldn't use it.

Just for the thread title:

Jerry Springer. There'll probably be some American grandpa on who's younger than this guy.

There are probably a lot of 29-year-old grandfathers in America. They probably just didn't hang around long enough to find out.

Cool. Very well done story.

But enough about the NBA ...

OK, that made me laugh...

I liked this part of the story down low:

"The world’s youngest grandad is Nikola Kostic who was 26 when his son Stanko, 13, became a father in Germany."

I can hear it now, oh Stanko!, Ride me big Stanko! Yes, Yes.
His dad probably named him that with the express purpose of him not getting laid until he's old enough to change his name.

I met a writer last year who became a grandpa at 30. He had a kid at 15, his kid had one at 15. He's like 42 now and completely turned his life around, became a leading activist, is an awesome writer, poet, and has dedicated himself to working in poorer neighborhoods trying to prevent kids from making the mistakes he made.

Poet and activist? Sounds like he needs a job that pays.

This is why it's sometimes soooooo easy to be a conservative in Britain. What was it? Four generations or five on the dole here, with a free apartment thrown in? I lost count.

All I know is that I'm helping pay for their lifestyle. And... (as he began to froth wildly at the mouth)... so is every American taxpayer, since the UK can't afford a decent armed forces anymore and has to rely on us.

How big of an apartment can you get? Is it better than public housing in the States? How much do you get being on the dole?

These quotes are awesome. I want to cover the British.

“It’s like history repeating itself. I quite like the idea of being the youngest grandad in Britain, but at the same time I’m fuming that she is pregnant.

“I don’t feel like a grandad – I’ve not got grey hair and my hearing is top notch.”

What makes you qualified to cover the British? And you realize, if you get the gig, you have to ask Jay Horowitz for the credential.

I can tell when someone is really injured and when he just doesn't want to play anymore.

As for the other part of the equation, ehh, he's already gotten me to hate one former passion. Why not start anew?

At the other end of the spectrum . . .

The grandson of John Tyler (b. 1790, U.S. president 1841-45) is still alive.
