Don't tell the same pointless stories that I do, or people will be doubly bored.

If this is how that second childhood is going to play out, I'm going to skip it and go sit on the sofa, drool, and tell pointless stories like Grandpa Simpson.

44 for a few more months. Some days I feel like I could be Grampster's or Monkeyleg's emotional ages, some days I feel like I could be their literal ages. But every day I'm young enough to be a daughter to either of them.  >:D

Mrs. Smith, my wife would have had to be 15 at the time she gave birth to you for me to be your father. And I would have been in prison after that. ;)

Adively, pretty much any story I tell that begins with "I remember" is going to be a boring story.

Declining to vote, because in a couple months I go up an age category. Which, if DnD has taught me anything, will give me -1 to Str Dex and Con, but a much needed +1 to Int Wis and Cha.

I thought that was a pretty common age for marriage back in those days...
