My wife is only a few years younger than I am, but she still has all of her grandparents. They are around age 80. I didn't have my first child until I was almost 40, and my grandmother on my father's side died the week we were going to tell everyone that we were having a kid. My other three grandparents all died in the 1990's. Also, many of my cousins had kids before they were 20, some of them became grandparents before I even became a parent. And likewise, I ended up with aunts/uncles that became great-grandparents before my dad became a grandparent.

Some of my high school friends (a married couple, for the obvious reason) were grandparents before I had my first child. The great grandmother in this story was 50. Getting knocked up at 17 runs in families. I just checked the CDC stats and Oklahoma still has the 2nd-lowest age of mother at first birth for non-Hispanic whites, which is because that state has way too many churches and nowhere near enough sex education in schools.
