Isn't anyone gonna applaud grandma for her sense of humor? Age 69 and cracking a dirty joke on her cake? Slow clap...

1 - could be yin yang 2 - funny how each generation thinks they are the ones who come up with and enjoy 'stuff'

69? Pussy? Both adopting a certain position? Am I the only one seeing something unseemly here?

He didn't suggest that 69 is old. The title of the section is about grandparents making life interesting and he is presenting an artful cake that his grandmother made for her 69th birthday. I'm picking up a couple of other things from it in that the old adage is that cats have 9 lives. She put a 9 on each cat but the way she has them cuddling gives us 69. Then there's also the naughty factor. Way to go Grandma. I'm 70. I deal with some health issues but I still have some good years left. And I still have a sense of humor. Nowhere did he make reference that he thinks she's old. He simply said he thought we might enjoy the cake she made.

She made her own cake because she's awesome at it and wanted to use her decorating skills to do a thing. And that thing is awesome. 👍 And yes the 13-year-old sense of humor in me does get the accidental double entendre, but it's subtle and the experience of the other 18 years is telling me to knock it off, lol.

Old people weren’t always old.. Or respectabele. People tend to forget that sex wasn’t invented by their generation.. Naughty grandma 😁 (and awsome at decorating cakes!)

69 isn't only a sex related. Its an ancient symbol of duality like yen and yang

There's a sexual content to "69". That's where I thought you were going because, being 67 myself, I can still put together a four course meal for 20 people by myself.

When my 69th was coming up I told my son I was depressed. Why? Because I was only one year off 70 and would then have to call myself 'old'. So he gave me a card which read 'Congratulations - you are now the same age upside down!' Whoopie! Now I can't wait for my 96th. :D
