Do you know anybody else who had 2 generations like that? It used to be more common but even back in 1970 the average was above 21. These days it's above 27.

With every average there will be people above and below the average age. And since there are some people having their first child in their 40s, the median is actually probably below the average.
I found it more suspicious that both times the father was supposedly aged at the suspiciously round number of 20.
With how many people there are out there, even something that happens to 0.1% of people over their lifetime will happen to 200k people living in the US right now (assuming 200m pop, which I think is low now). Assuming an average life expectancy of 75, that averages 2666.6 per year, or 7.28 per day (assuming every year is a leap year).
I don't know what the odds are of having kids at 20, but I'd guess the conditional probability of two successive generations both having kids at 20 is way higher than 0.1%, which means there's more than 7 new ones each day. And any of them might post this kind of thing where they talk about something their grandparent bought new.
yes, poor people.
most people who have kids at a young age, are economically impoverished.
which is true for tons of parts of the USA.
The average age of marriage is like 10 years different, between blue and red states, for example.
people in utah get married at like 22.
I mean, yes, but I grew up in a cult
