• My wife was born in 1993, her father was born in 1947, and his father was born in 1902.

      My great-grandmother died last year at 100 years old. She was born in 1923. So when my great grandmother was born, my father in law’s dad was 21. My four generations back is less time than my wife’s two. My father in law retired from trucking before my wife graduated high school.

      My father in law is still kicking. He turns 78 next month. We give him hell a lot for his age. I’ll ask him what it was like to see the creation of the world or if dinosaurs were cool.
