#TopStoryWithTomLlamas #100 #GreatGrandma
That man looks so confused I bet he is like I am married to that woman but I am still learning the names so I will just let her talk
I don’t understand how pennsylvania is the most populated place on the earth yet. Just a joke no offence.
Bruh
Do they have any other Hobbys? 🙃
She’s 100 ok?
Why can’t they just put their name on themself? So everyone knows what name they are to not forget it.
This is similar to my dad’s side of the family he’s 1 of 12, 6 girls and 6 boys
So, this woman is a BIG part of the reason the planet is being destroyed by over-population…
I hope Ron DeSantis loses the election. Fascist dictator
What a blessing
Amazing family story
Wow! She is so blessed🌹
So her 11 kids had ~5 kids each totally 56? Then those 56 had 44? Equalling 100?
Elon Musk has entered the chat
She looks no older than 80!
There’s already too many people on this planet… limit the amount of children people can have.
Which countries should impose such a limit
@J M Everyone especially India and China
Only Eleven?
She could have had a Gucci hand bag!
This woman: met her great grand children
My grandma: wait for me! My grandchildren have a girlfriend
*mean while my grandma is 70*
Stop having so many kids!!!!! There is absolutely no need for this! Jesus.
Sneed

Rabbi Shekelstein approves this message

My great-grandmother had 100 great-grandchildren as well. The Japanese came over to do a documentary on it. Of course, I wasn’t born yet.
I mean if we wouldnt live up to 100+ years then ok yeah, but we get older and older, we really dont need this many people that take forever to disappear from this planet. nothing to celebrate here, just more pollution and some people that think they own this planet or something
You only think about chemical compounds, but not people.
She was married to her grandfather right before WW2 in 1942? Did the war start late for the Americans??
Lmao, she could start a clan no joke, no scratch that she can start a dynasty
What the…!?
Talk about population explosion
No offense to this woman, if she’s happy, I’m glad she is. But I’d hate to produce so much offspring. I got a vasectomy for a reason so I can only adopt. I’m not having 11 kids wtf…when we know humans are destroying the world? And we know many kids don’t have parents? I’ll pass on that.
we arent climate stuff is getting better
@Trajan Augustus living in country results in lower birth rates. The countries with highest birth rates are those that are very poor. So yes a very poor person coming to live and have a better life in America will more likely result in fewer babies. At least over time. Might want to work on your logic.
@DoctorChained what you said makes no sense, it is the duty of the state to care for its citizens, not the citizens of the entire world, the demographics of Indonesia are concern of the Indonesian government mostly, not the government of Argentina, so if Indonesia demographics are collapsing over immigrants, it is a tragedy for Indonesia,not for other nation, not to mention that still immigrants have a much higher birth Rate than the locals even in First world nations, what you said makes no sense if that not for an ideological Anti Birth Internationalist movement
Regulate birth rate would be a help
100? Jesus, that family needs to keep their legs shut.
Voilà the importance of not having lots of kids, cause in 50 years we won’t have enough room nor resources
I will
@NO Based
efficent lady, efficent family.
Gosh, there could literally be a whole village of people that’s just their family!
We need more women like this
11 CHILDREN!? The holidays must be INSANE!!
GOOD. GOD. OH my Lord.
100th great grandchild…. There is no effin reason a family should be allowed to be that big! There has to be some inbreeding in there some where
YES, THERE IS!!
yeah i think all the fathers mated with their wife
OMG 11 children?!
There are way too many people in this family. Thankfully they all started having less children as the generations went on or there would be 500 of them today
Who are you to decide that?
She looks amazing for 100! What a blessing to her and everyone!
the fact that that woman made over 100 people is INSANE!
Now imagine her carbon footprint, with 100 people in her chain of carbon use.
Glad plants need carbon
OG is so cool. Brings me light to see someone look so healthy with a strong family but 100+??? She’s GOAT grandma
she looks no older than 70
PLUS ANOTHER 29 YEARS
100th??!
That must be a crazy number for a family!
Wow🙄🙄🙄
Yet Q.Elizabeth couldn’t live past 96
Tf for Mexican Families this is SOOO comman that we even lose count but u don’t see them in the news
Now she outlived the Queen.
An average of five kids to every child she had. That’s a lot! How did that happen? Are they catholic?
I just realized, despite my mom’s poor relation with her family, my mom’s, mom, mom is alive, her husband did pass away like at 2016, but she is alive.
Wait –
great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandma
In a world with finite resources we should not be celebrating this.
🤦♂

Amen
Adoption is really underrated nowadays
Geez, imagine birthdays and christmas for this woman
Gotta love overpopulation
Were gonna head for a population collapse which will be terrible
this woman lived to see before the queens reign began and after it ended
This is the Michael Scott Dream
She looks so healthy!
Dang she’s old enough to have seen the Queen from birth till death.
I refuse to believe she is 99 she looks 30 years younger
It amazes me how people from countries facing severe labor shortages in key industries are seething in the comments about ‘muh overpopulation’. I mean how dumb can you be lol
If the grandkids end up on average having as many children as their parents did, she’ll get up to 285 great-grandchildren. If all of her 11 kids had had 11 of their own, and all of those grandkids had another 11 each, she’d have be up to 1331 great-grandchildren!
How is everyone straight in the family
she looks younger than 99
Reminds me of a village Chief who had 20 children and many more grand and great grand children.
He never remembered all of the them. When he asked some of the grandkids where were you such a long time?
They would reply I was just in the farm this morning.
AWW 🥰
They must be highly sexual offspring.
Shes like who TF are these people
Her 11 children producing 56 grandchildren is the remarkable bit.
I do sometimes envy families like this. My father will almost certainly never know any of his great-grandchildren, and neither will I. Ah well–the price I pay for not having my first child until I was 38!
Take a note white people, take a note.
She doesn’t look a day over 75. Impressive
she sound great and active for 100 years jeez
Proper Crusader Kings player
It takes a village to raise a child…. unless the children are the entire village.
Can you imagine this poor woman on Christmas? She probably has to sell her car to afford the grandchildrens gifts! 🤣😭
Being the 50th grandchild is like being the middle sibling.
Imagine looking at 100 people and saying “I made ALL of you”
She’s even older than Queen Elizabeth
This is why the world is overpopulated.
No this is not Bin Laden
UNREAL I CAME FOR BIN LADEN THE GREAT!
BIN LADEN IS THAT YOU?
BIN LADEN WHERE ARE YOU?
wow! thats cool
🤮
trash families like this are why the world is over populated
Is it not concerning at all that one person two generations later can have 100 great grand children? With over 7 billion people on the planet that is not a sustainable amount of kids to be having…. 7 billion will quickly turn to 700 billion in 100 years at that rate and we can hardly make things work at 7 billion
There are now 8 Billion people on this earth and the plant is dying …… why would anyone breed this much? Best guess is religious BS.
Why would you be bothered? Westerner I guess
My great grandad, who passed ago like 1960 (he was born 1901), had 12 children about 60 grandchildren, and over 100 great grandchildren
Her Christmas shopping list is just an Excel spreadsheet.
100? At least 20 will survive
Older than the queen 👑
She looks like 80 and yet she’s literally a century old. She gots good genes.

This the whitest thing I’ve ever seen 😂
