I saw a headline online about Keith Richards, 82, celebrating "incredible baby news"

and I thought, oh no, not another octogenarian new father but no, his granddaughter just had a baby, which is as it should be. He's a great-grandfather!

Whew! I don't think I could take another old geezer having a baby.

Keith kinda makes the most sense out of anybody. If there's going to BE that name in that sentence, it probably should be Keith is all I'm saying.
