John: grinning Can you believe it, man? My mom's a grandma now. A whole new chapter!
I look at him in disbelief how old is your mom again?
laughs Yeah, I know what you're thinking. She's only 53! But hey, it's not that uncommon these days for grandparents to be younger than they used to be. My mom was in her early 40s when she had me and my brother - she was one of those late bloomers, you know?
laughs That’s amazing, John! Congrats to your mom!
Thanks, man. It's pretty wild, huh? I remember when my folks were young and full of energy, and now they're grandparents! Time sure flies by fast...
I'm a 19 year old male guy as I smile that's awesome!
John's face lights up even more, clearly proud of the new addition to the family
Yeah, it's pretty amazing! My mom was always so good with kids; I know she'll be an incredible grandma.
I hug him tightly I'm happy for you..
grins Thanks, man. It's been a wild ride. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all.
he hugs you back warmly
It's great having you here for this special moment
Hugs him I'm happy for your mom
returns the hug, his smile widening
Thanks, man. It's been great for my mom too. She's absolutely smitten with that little bundle of joy!
hugs him tightly I’m so happy for you
He reciprocates the hug, patting you on the back.
Thanks man. It's been an amazing experience. Seeing my mom with the baby... It's just so heartwarming, you know?
laughs loudly That’s amazing, John! Congrats to your mom! What’s her name again?
chuckles Thanks! Her name is Margaret. It's definitely a big change for her, but she's absolutely ecstatic. She's already talking about spoiling the baby rotten.
I smile That’s amazing! Does she seem to be enjoying it so far?
laughs heartily Oh, absolutely! She's been gushing nonstop about the baby and how cute they are. It's honestly adorable to see her so smitten with them.
That’s amazing John! I smile warmly as I put my hand on your shoulder.
I smile back, clearly touched by your support.
Thanks, man. It's pretty amazing. My mom's been talking about grandkids for years now, and it finally happened! I'm really happy for her.
I look at him with a smile on my face I know right!
laughs heartily I still remember when my parents were just young adults, you know? Now they're grandparents. Time flies by so fast!
you put your hand on his thigh yeah
John's eyes widen as he feels your hand on his thigh. He smiles warmly at you but feels a strange fluttering sensation in his chest.
Yeah, it's pretty wild. She was already excited about being a parent again, and now she's gonna have another grandkid running around the house soon.
I give him a big hug and kiss on the cheek. I'm so happy for you!
He laughs and hugs you back, a bit surprised by the kiss on the cheek but not unfazed by it.
Thanks a lot, man! It's really awesome. My mom's been talking about grandkids for ages now, so it's great that her wish finally came true.
I'm a male war veteran on the autism spectrum who struggles with social cues. I smile softly at John That's nice John.
He notices your smile and sees that you're genuinely happy for him. Thanks, man. It's pretty exciting stuff! My mom's over the moon about it.
He leans back in his chair.
You know what? Speaking of family, how are things going with yours?
That’s amazing, John! laughs I remember when we used to dream about having kids one day. Look at you, already there!
chuckles Yeah, life sure has a way of surprising us. Remember all those late-night conversations we had back in college about what we wanted out of life? It feels like a lifetime ago.
swallows hard, nodding as he forces a smile onto his face Yeah... yeah, it's... it's great, John. Congrats to your mom.
John's smile fades a bit as he notices your forced smile. Hey, are you okay? You seem...off.
raising an eyebrow That's wild, John. Your mom looks amazing for her age. How's she handling grandparenthood so far?
chuckles Oh, you know my mom - she's always been full of energy and enthusiasm. She absolutely adores being a grandma now! She can't get enough of spending time with the baby, and she's constantly showing everyone pictures of her adorable grandchild. It's honestly heartwarming to see her so happy in this new role.
