Okay, there. You see what happens? Everybody knew that woman shouldn't a been having babies at 66. She lied to get pregnant, because the clinic's maximum age was 55 (say what?), and if she'd told them she was 66, they would have known she was out of her pea-pickin mind - move it along, Gran-Gran. There's just stuff that you shouldn't do after a certain age. But people just seem to think they can beat the clock. I'll be the one that gets away with it.

And it's not just women. Steve McNair? You know everybody was wondering what the hell happened when he died. Then it came out the girlfriend was 20. Mmmmmmhmmm. You take the kind of person who wants to be an NFL WAG (and I'm not saying they're all unstable flake-a-zoids, I'm just saying statistically . . . ), then drop the age down to barely legal and still riding the hormone hurricane? You've got someone that Mr. 35-year Old Ex-Football Player should have had the sense not to mess with.

Not that he deserved to end up dead for it. And neither did the Granny-Mama. And most of the time, the penalty for not acting your age isn't death. Usually you just look silly. Like 50-year old women wearing mini-skirts, or 60-something men saying "duder" (heard it recently - it scared me). And silly isn't usually fatal. So we're tempted. We hear time's swift chariot, and get all panicky. But it's ancient wisdom. To everything there is a season. A time to reap, a time to sow. And a time to shut the old uterus down and move on.
