Trivia question...
« on: February 01, 2005, 12:20:08 PM »
I went for soup at Napa Ranch today (mmmm, Creamy Curry Chicken).  They have a daily trivia question, first twelve right get a free cookie.  Today's question:

What age was Loretta Lynn when she first became a grandmother?

I guessed 37.

No cookie for me.  But she whispered the answer to me.  So let the guessing begin.

I'm gonna guess 29.

FWIW, my next door neighbor from some years ago, a woman named Terri, had her firstborn, Honey, at age 14.  Honey thereupon had her firstborn at 13; and Terri became a grandmother at 28.  So this stuff's not unheard of by any stretch.

Woo-hoo!  That really was a guess, btw: I figured she was young (otherwise it wouldn't be an interesting trivia question), but never having seen "Coal Miner's Daughter," I didn't know the specs.

For shame!  rent that sucker immediately. Fab. You. Luss. Unlike the Spacey/Darin instance, Sissy doing her own singing totally works.
