Is the expression okay grammatically?

It doesn't make a lot of sense, but i see no grammatical faults.

Thanks.

But:

How to make it full of sense, then?

As i have no idea what the author is attempting say, i can't really make it make sense.

Well, it makes a bit more sense if you change "daughter's ago" for "daughter's age"...(A typo, probably)

I hadn't even noticed that. Given that the father is supposed to have been eight years old or younger when the daughter was conceived, i can't make much sense of it.

After that, it drops into one side of some dialogue which sounds as though it's continuation of a discussion to which we are not privy.

What you wrote is too complex; too densely complex.
Apparently, the author is against something; I don 't know what.

Simplicity and clarity of thought are virtues to be admired.

Sure, but it's about liars and a father that is only eight years older than his daughter is probably a liar..

Presumably, the father was 7 when he got into action.

How old was the mother ?

With the daughter's ago being a little more than fifty, the father's age is less than sixty. Isn't that a miracle? I've not been making fun of you. If someone did, it would be you, Mary. So, liars prosper? Oh poor liars, they often go bankrupt more quickly.

Conversations where one isn't party to the context are often opaque/confusing/mystifying, Ori. If you read any transcriptions of natural everyday speech, you often don't have a clue what's going on.

This sounds like something from a novel, and though the idioms are not ones that I'm familiar with, I can make out at least one possible scenario.

Person: [obviously responding to something Mary has said ] With the daughter's age being a little more than fifty, the father's age is less than sixty. Isn't that a miracle? [= How could a child of 7 or 8, the 'father' have fathered a child?]

I've not been making fun of you. If someone did, it would be you, yourself Mary, weaving such a fanciful tale.

So [= it's been said that], liars prosper? Oh poor liars [= But poor liars], they often go bankrupt more quickly.

Thank you very much, JTT.

Your analysis is helpful.

Thank you all.
