Old?
I had a very interesting conversation with two of my sons the other day. They were listening to a tape of me "talking" with my dad back in 1979. (I was a year old.) The date was mentioned at the beginning of the tape, "1979."
Son #1, very surprised, asks, "you were alive back then?"
I answer in the affirmative, "Yes I was,"
Son #1 in shock exclaims, "Wow, you were alive way back in the old days."
Son #2 chimes in with, "that was way back when Jesus was on earth."
Son #1 replies, "no, that was back in Bible times." "Wow dad, you are old!"
Son #2 finishes up in agreement, "yeah!"

6 & 8 Year-old's perspective: "I am old."
My perspective: I am still the same person I was when I was 6 or 8. "Old"
is ever changing and always beyond reach. A form of
"Kick-the-Can" I suppose.

:-) I guess it happens to all of us some time or another. :-)
