Six Living Generations of Daughters, From 7 Weeks to 111 Years
ABC News has reported on a family in Charlottesville, Virginia that boasts an amazing six living generations of daughters. The eldest is 111-year-old Mollie Wood (b. 1901) and the youngest is 7-week-old Braylin Higgins (b. 2012). Photographer and neighbor Christian DeBaun saw the opportunity to capture some amazing portraits of the family.
So the baby's great-great-great grandmother is still alive....
msbelle and others might appreciate these posts about how little kids don't know how to play board games properly: [link]
Six generations is bananas. Although my family could do it if my grandmother lived to 111! That grandmother already has an 18 year old great-granddaughter, and she's only like 85.
I have no idea what you are talking about. JUST THIS MORNING I had to explain why mac and I could not play board games unless there were other people playing with us. The child cannot take losing to me over and over again.
I've known grandmothers well under 40 (I think the record was 36), so you could be a 90-year old and have a daughter who's 72, a granddaughter of 54, great-granddaughter of 36, great-great granddaughter of 18, and a newborn.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I wanted more about the whole family, not just the oldest lady and her daughter. Fascinating!
But definitely you could have stuff like that without living crazy long. Or, you could have my family where my grandmother died at 92 and only had a grandchild, since she and my mom were both old for their time when they had kids, and my sister and I still haven't had any....
Also, I have no further comment regarding msbelle and games.
I do not know anyone in my family who was married before 20. Odd I think for 3-4 generations of a Southernish family.
games are meant to be played by the rules, with the full attention of those playing and to the best ability of all players. not trying is as bad as cheating. Games of pure chance with no skill required are for punks and infants. Losing sucks, but can be accepted with social accepted behavior. Winning rocks and should be celebrated up to the point where opponents are slightly annoyed.
sidenote - large or noteable wins should be brought up on social occassions for years afterwards. Shugg Knight! What?
