Transcript:
Janis: I've had so much fun! I've never had a little girl to shop for! Janis: Or a grandchild. Arlo: A grandchild! Well, it isn't like... Janis: Don't you dare say she won't be like our REAL grandchild! Arlo: I wasn't! Arlo: I was GOING to say, it isn't like I'm too young to be a grandfather!

Arlo seems to have been warm to the idea before Janis…

Good thing he made the reference to himself instead of Janis!

My last marriage was to a woman 13 years my senior, and now I’m a great-grandfather x at least 15, and I’m only 65! Blended marriages can be so confusing.

We got our oldest granddaughter the same way, and I forget she wasn’t actually born into the family. Now she’s turning 18 next week and leaving for college. Still my little girl.

How did that work @olddewd46? I’m in the same situation now….

This is such a nice story line. Thanks, Jimmy Johnson. And, I am sure Arlo meant to say what he did say, not the ungenerous thing Janis accused him of.

I have never loved Janis more than I do at this moment. Nicely done, Mr. Johnson!

ALWAYS love A&J! They are so human, so sweet… I want an Arlo for my very own!

@catfeet I don’t think that was a save. Look at the expressions, Arlo is being sincere. It was Janis who jumped to conclusions.

My step son is my son, his children are my grandchildren. I was just as proud when they wer born as I was 3 years later when my daughter had her first. Having said that, I am still too young to be a Grand-Father (Ja Ja).

By starting early, you too could have been a Great-Granpa by 64…
