At 23, I was still in college, partying on Tuesday nights and flitting in and out of classes during the day. What were you doing? Even if you had a child, you definitely didn't have a grandchild, like 23-year-old Rifca Stanescu of Romania, who is said to be the world's youngest grandmother. (Although, according to Wikipedia, the youngest grandmother was 17-year-old Mum-Zi of Nigeria.)

Rifca eloped when she was 11 in fear of being forced into marriage by her father, gave birth to daughter Maria at age 12. Now 11-year-old Maria has given birth to baby Nicolae after marrying last year. Rifca says she's glad to be a grandma, but had wished more for Maria.
