Michael Jai White on Being a Great Grandfather at 53 (Part 11)

[@DanielleGlasgow758]

I was blessed enough to have my great grandmother up to age 32...and none of the generations had teenage pregnancies...she passed at 102 🙏🏾

[@subzfit]

My great grandmother was twins. Lived to 103. It was a blessing. Watching my 78 years old grandmother act like a kid around her was beautiful to watch but hilarious too.

Yep. 66 great great then 82 great great great then 98 great great great great then...

[@KentPetersonmoney]

Imagine if Michael jay white own great grandparent was still living. Hey it's possible if his great grandparent was the age Michael is now when he was born. Since Michael was born in 1967 making him 54 this year. 54 years before 1967 is 1913. Their actually still people living from that year.

[@CommonGround99205]

@@KentPetersonmoney Very true, my grandparents were born between 1916 and 1920. Both sets had children into their 40's and my oldest aunt was a great grandmother when I was a kid, she was born in the mid-30's, more than 10yrs older than my mom and had children into her 40's as well. my parents were born in the late forties and didn't start having children until the late '70s to mid '80s. In that same span, Michael Jai White could have great-great-great-great grandfather. I personally don't have kids and I'm in my mid-late 30's but I have classmates who had kids between 12-18 and their kids are all adults. Amazing that he could see so many generations of his own offspring before he goes.

[@KentPetersonmoney]
