Many times on this blog and elsewhere I have noted the great and universal truism of life: we all turn into our parents.

There’s no sense in fighting it. It’s going to happen. For the past decade I’ve resigned myself to the fact and tried to embrace the fact that, well, I’ve become my dad.

Today’s hot take?

Your parents become your grandparents.

This should be obvious, right? I mean, they literally are grandparents. But more than that there’s going to become your grandparents. The folks you remember from when you were a kid… you’ll see them again like 30 years later, proof that they’re doing the thing you’ll eventually do as well.

Nice to know you’ll see your grandparents again.

And your parents.

Every time you look in the mirror.
