Great Grandmother Pregnant With Twins AFTER Getting Her Tubes Tied
<snip>

SYLVESTER, Ga. -- Did you hear the one about the great-grandmother who gave birth to twins? Well, you're about to.

Frances Harris, of Georgia, who's 59 and has six great-grandchildren, is scheduled to deliver twins Dec. 21. And this is 33 years after she had her tubes tied.

Her explanation: "They came untied."

Harris said she didn't intend to become pregnant, and didn't realize she was until she began craving food she doesn't usually eat. She gained weight and finally went to the doctor. She was four months along.

Harris was divorced years ago from the twins' father, but said they would remarry before the birth.

The oldest American to have twins is Aleta St. James, who gave birth Tuesday and turns 57 Friday. Harris is the mother of five and grandmother of 14, in addition to the six great-grandchildren.

11. Since they're African American, I rather doubt it.

Yes, if those Red States would just disappear, you'd have a much whiter USA.

10. yeah, usually
If she has great-grandkids, those will be older than her new kids.

Which would mean that her great grandkids are older than her own kids.

So what i meant to say was, imagine having children who are younger than your own great grandchildren.

Bed, here I come!
