22 years of teenagers

Jack and I went down to see my grandma today, since Danny, unlike the rest of the country, did not have the day off. We sat around talking about many things while Jack alternately showed us "plane!" and "car!" and "pee-pul!" and shared with us his sounds of various farm animals. Somehow we got around to figuring out that my grandma had at least one teenager under her roof for 22 years, from 1959 to 1981. 22 years of teenager! Let's all raise a glass to Arlene Chaplin. This woman has done a lot of amazing things in her life, but I'm not sure that particular feat has ever been recognized.

Ugh. I do not look forward to teenagers. I will get 14 years of it.
