Shotgun Wedding
Great grandparents’ 60th anniversary party at hotel ballroom with cousins/2nd cousins who hadn’t seen each other in years. My mom and I were talking to my grandfather.
Mom: Wow. I haven’t seen Chuck, Fred, and a Claire in years.
Me: No kidding. When do you think we’ll get a group this big back together?
Mom: Gramps’ birthday is in 6 months. We’ll see some people then.
Me: 6 months? Isn’t it his 60th?
All: …
Gramps: Huh. I never thought about that.
My grandfather was 60 when he realized his parents had a shotgun wedding.
