Reply to comment by MrBrightsighed in Unlike most mammals, female naked mole rats develop new eggs throughout their entire lives – a finding that could lead to improvements in human infertility research. by chrisdh79

I teach elementary school. You would not believe how many old guys, late 60s through 70s, have 5-8 year old children.

It’s insane

What's really insane is that those guys found women to marry who were still young enough to have kids. We're talking an age gap of at LEAST 20 years, if not 30 or more. I'm 76, and if I had a 10-year-old to take care of right now I'd probably die. And I'm not joking at all. Taking out the garbage is about all I can handle. (Emphysema is not fun, people.)

Have to explain to the store clerk you are looking for baby diapers and not adult? That’s gotta be hell every time

“Okay sir, your total for the diapers is $44.87”

“Oh, I have a coupon.”

“Thank you… sir, this is for adult diapers. This will not apply to these size 3 Pampers cruisers.”

“That reminds me! I’ll be right back. I’m still using that coupon.”

I’m gonna be 30 this year, and my daughter turns 2 the month before. Young parents exist!
