Nbc / Getty Images "So I woke up this morning, and my son looked at me and said, 'You look old,'" said Jessica, who shares two sons with husband Justin Timberlake: Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4. Taylor Hill / Getty Images "Yeah. That's what I got this morning," she continued. "I was trying to figure out how to respond, and I said, 'Oh well, that's OK. We're all getting older. You're gonna get older, I'm gonna get older. We're all getting older.'" @jessbiel / Via tiktok.com Jessica then revealed that her son fired back with another brutal remark. "He said, 'I hope you don't look like a grandma,'" she shared. @jessbiel / Via tiktok.com "I was like, 'Oh my God. I am gonna look like a grandma one day.' And I told him that," she said before adding, "Then it really got me thinking, Wow, life is moving fast and grandma days might be shortly on the horizon."

"Yep this is what happens when we have our kids at 30+," one person said. "I'm 39 and my granddaughter looked at me and asked me if I lived with the dinosaurs?" another wrote. Michael Buckner / Getty Images "I feel you! One time my kid realized and said "So you were born in the nineteen HUNDREDS?!!!" Her mind was 🤯 and I felt old as heck," one comment read."Kids always say the quiet part of loud in the most unhinged way," someone wrote, while another person echoed, "definitely hits deep when you hear it from your kids." At the same time, Jessica's TikTok sparked a wholesome conversation that aging is a "blessing." "Getting or looking 'old' is a gift denied to many of us," someone reminded Jessica. "It's a blessing to grow old and look like a grandma. Some do not get that opportunity. It's all in perspective," another user agreed. Jerritt Clark / Getty Images "I thought I'd be self conscious the older I get but I actually love it! I have earned every wrinkle, scar, and stretch mark," one person wrote, while one more user added, "I hope we all get to look like grandmas someday." How wholesome.
