Eight lines for the Writer's Workshop

A few days ago, our very own Mama Kat, whose Writer's Workshop this is linked up to, posted the pic below on Instagram announcing that she is now a great-aunt.

My first thought was "she can't possibly be old enough to be a great-aunt; she's younger than me!"

Then I stopped to think about it.

I have a 23 year old niece who (obviously) is of child-bearing age......

The two who will one day make me a great-aunt


And a 25 year old nephew who (obviously) could get someone of child-bearing age pregnant.....

OMG I AM OLD ENOUGH TO BE A GREAT-AUNT!

Not that either of them is planning anything...........that I know of.

Somebody please get me a freaking drink!

  1. HA! I became a great aunt 2.5 years ago. My husband's nephew was 21 when his daughter was born. It could happen any day now! ;-)

    1. I guess that's true. This whole aging thing still takes me by surprise sometimes ;)

  2. I had no idea that she became a great aunt. Whoa...that's cool and kind of OMG all at once. I guess I could potentially be a great aunt too. Make the thinking stop!

  3. Oh my goodness this is ALL KINDS OF AWESOME! I did the 8 line prompt but I kind of cheated because I wrote about 28 lines explaining the 8 "real" ones LOL.

    1. We're so busy thinking of them as kids that it doesn't even seem possible, yet it is. Nuts!

  5. Posts like this make me feel old. Like the fact that 2000 was 15 years ago is just mind blowing!
