If you ever need a thought that confirms that the world is a sick and pathetic place, we are right on the precipice of a person being born whose grandparents were not alive for 9-11.
Our peers’ kids are graduating high school and college. Maybe our kids too? But that also makes them technically old enough to have kids. That is a terrifying thought.
That’s going to take a little while. If we assume that both parents got their first child at 18, that shouldn’t happen before 2037. While it’s technically possible to have children at 13, it’s so far removed from the norm in developed countries that it makes me wonder if they even had access to a TV that would have let them perceive 9/11 if they had been alive and old enough back then.
I have encountered several people who gave birth to their first child at 13, and assuming that the generational issues that enable such horrific outcomes is not resolved, then it’s entirely plausible that a child born in 2001 could have given birth to their first child in 2013-2014, who would then be giving birth to their first child later this year or early next year.
Yeah, but that doesn’t gut punch annon; which is primarily what I’m here for.

Fuck, I’m forty and I was alive for 9/11! Then I realized that I’m actually within the age range to be a grandmother, but just barely.
