Today, my grandson asked how old I am and whether I'd seen Mammoths "for real" when I was a kid. FML

Today, my grandson visited me, and asked if I had any pictures of myself from when I was a little girl. I happily looked for a few photos to give him, asking what had piqued his curiosity. He replied that he wanted some for a presentation he's doing on the Middle Ages. FML

Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML

Today, my 11-year-old son and I were going through some old photos. He saw one of me when I was 22 on a beach, wearing a bikini. He said "Wow! Who's that?" Quite proudly I said it was me. He looked at me and said "What happened?" FML

Today, the new guy at work - who is probably at least ten years older than I am - admired the photo on my desk of myself with my husband and teenage daughters and asked, "Are those your grandchildren?" I'm in my 40's. FML

Today, I paid a social visit to my grandparents. While we were watching the news, a story came on about the Queen of England. I scoffed, "How is she not dead already? How old is she, anyway?" My grandmother replied, "About my age." Oops. FML

Today, after my 5-year-old finally got over his grandmother's death, we went to a store and saw a lady that looked exactly like her. She came up to us asking if we saw her grandson; I can't get my son to stop freaking out. FML

Today, I was having a nice moment with my granddaughter as she was being affectionate by stroking my face. We were both quite content, until she said, "Aw, Grandma, your skin feels just like a crocodile." FML

Today, my son was looking through old photos and showed me a picture of myself and asked who it was. When I told him it was me, he responded by saying "But mommy, the lady in the picture is not fat!" FML

Today, we spent the day with my grandmother. During a family conversation, my sweet little grandmother looked me up and down, and without any hesitation said, "I remember you being so beautiful," before looking at my mother, mouthing, "What happened?" and laughing. She's 87. FML

If he's only, like, 6 then isn't that kind of cute? He doesn't know any better, give the kid a break :)

In high school I worked in a kindergarten class and one of the students asked me if my mommy was dead... I said no... she was shocked and said, "But you have boobs!" lol... I guess she thought anyone who had boobs (an "adult") had dead parents!

My dad used to tell me my grandmother (mom's mother) was on the Mayflower and the Titanic. I believed him until I was 13.

The bad news is that the grandson is 34 . . . and an archaeologist!

Well, since you can use a computer and know what FML is, you must not be that old (lol), but he is just a kid (sounds like a pretty young one at that). Be nice and take it like an adult.

I think it is really cute what kids will say. I asked my mum, when I was a kid, what she wanted to be when she grows up.

aww, that's just temporal naivete. he doesn't fully understand how long ago the mammoths were.

The kid thought you were old enough to have seen a live mammoth? That's ridiculous. But seriously, what did America look like the British colonized it?

Yeah only a woman could complain at such a question involving age (and yes I'm a girl too), I think it's cute if your grandson is still really young and really has no idea. At my place we tease my mom with her age (she's 50) all the time and she doesn't mind at all. Don't get so offended by such little things, you're probably not thát old at all
