I am not sure if I can quite put the experience into words, but I will try. My attempt will have many 'breaks.' Here goes..
At work, I had an opportunity to help a family with invitations for a quinceanera. The family consisted of the Great Grandma (about 45 years old), the Grandma/Mom (about 30 years old) and the daughter, who was going to celebrate her 15th birthday in September. Oh, by the way, there was also a double stroller with two kids it it - both in diapers - one belonged to the Grandma/Mom and one belonged to the Soon-To-Be-15-Year-Old.
The G/M asked me to print these invitations. So, I did. It takes about 20 minutes to print 30 invitations.
While I was standing there watching the printer print, 14 year old has an argument with G/M. She wants to order WEDDING invitations, too. G/M says, "No, not yet. Your man isn't in the NBA, yet."
At that point, G/M and Great Grandma have a discussion about the BabyDaddy. How good he is at basketball, how much child support he is going to be able to give, etc.
Great Grandma was disgusted - as was I. The discussion gets heated until the Grandma/Mom said,
"Look, Mama, she is just doing what Iverson's wife did. Marry him young, then get all his money. My baby is smart!"
Really? There oughta be a law...
Good Morning! (Sort of)

I just managed to get about 85 minutes of sleep. I had dreams the storm was
over. It's not. Well, not really. It's still dumping rain here, it's still
dark...
