How do I get my mom to stop asking for grandkids?

I (27f) , well I guess Iā€™m at that age where everyone starts looking to you for kids. Personally Iā€™d rather slide butt naked, down a slide made of razor blades, into a pool of rubbing alcohol than change a shitty diaper. I mean so much so Iā€™ve actively only dated infertile men in between bouts of celibacy since 21ish. I know the life I want and kids donā€™t fit , on to my issue.

Every single time I see my mom she mentions grandkids, I jokingly tell her she has plenty (my pet rabbit and chiwennie ( Chihuahua wiener dog mix) and move on with the conversation. Well my best friend just had a baby and naturally I told mom, cue a 20 minute tirade about how much she ā€œwants to be a grandmaā€ and ā€œhas picked out what she wants to be calledā€. She tells me how much she loves seeing all of her friends being grandmas, and how she canā€™t wait to have grand babies. She convinced that I wonā€™t understand how fulfilling being a mother is until itā€™s ā€œmy turnā€ , Iā€™d rather take a turn on a Spanish donkey.

Iā€™m very firmly set in not wanting to have children ,what can I possibly say to make her understand.
