The only slightly suspicious thing here is that both grandpa and pop had kids at exactly age 20. Not only is that a little younger than average, it's also a very convenient number for a made up but easy to calculate scenario.

Maybe but it’s not crazy. My father in-law had his first kid at 17. His second son also had a kid at 17. Crazier still is that second son's baby mama was 16 and she was born to a 16 year old.

I wish I was making this shit up.

On one hand it's suspicous, on the other hand it's a convenient number if your parents and grandparents were around that age but you don't want to put in their actual ages because you have a habit of not giving out personal information.

That's when the word "about" is useful. My grandpa is "about 60" and my dad is "about 40", he got the PS1 when my dad was a kid. My dad had me when he was "about 20"...

I don't think people tend to make up specific ages that are not accurate when they're trying to obscure someone's exact age.

Counterpoint: "20" is shorter than "about 20" and this is a short comment by a 4chan anon.

Countercounterpoint: this is a short comment by a 4chan anon, so it's probably a lie.

Fakeness in 4chan no way?
