DAVENPORT, IA—Perplexed by the toddler’s affection for the nonagenarian, sources confirmed Tuesday that local 2-year-old Ava Kerper was getting awfully attached to her 90-year-old grandmother. “She knows the average life expectancy is like, 77, right?” said the sources, who scoffed while watching the child demonstrate her complete and embarrassing obliviousness, wrapping her arms around her grandmother and announcing, “You’re my favorite!” “Personally, if I were going to choose a favorite person in the whole wide world, I’d choose someone with more than six months to live, tops, but hey, you do you, I guess. Christ, this is not going to end well. If this kid’s not careful, Grandma will die with Ava on her lap, and then she’ll live with that regret.” At press time, sources confirmed it was Kerper’s own fault for not learning her lesson with her 98-year-old grandfather.

She's going to make the same mistake with the family dog. Ava, they've had that Golden Retriever since before you were born. Do the math.

Seriously. This child needs to get out of her dream world and join the real world. I blame irresponsible millennial parents.

Doubt they even know MLA format smh. They don't teach kids like they used to.

Surely this would make more sense if it was her great grandmother.

Look, I'm not here for it to "make sense".

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Lol, I just couldn't help doing the math because I have a toddler and a grandmother close to the same ages.

That's kind of weird, isn't it? What kind of screwed up family tree is required for that to happen? Your great grandparents must be in exceptional health.

Haha, this took me a second.

Average Crusader Kings game material right there.

It's possible. My mom was 46 when I was born and if she'd been born to her mother at the same age, this could have almost been me. But grandma passed at 88 yrs old, so not quite.

It took me too long to realize that MY grandmother is 98 and my youngest child would fit in this scenario.... and my kids are the great-grandchildren and she their great-grandmother. 🤦 My kids haven't been toddlers in several years now, but they actually love spending time with her when we visit.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Damn 98!

We should all be so lucky! It's great that your kids have gotten this much time with her.

[-] SuzyQ 2 points 10 months ago

I'm glad so too. I can only hope to live as long as she has and to be surrounded by so much love.
