Age is in the eye of the beholder

The little girl who lives across the street likes to come over to play with Pepper. Her family has two large dogs and Pepper is more her size. She just turned 7. Her dad also had a birthday. He is now 40. So naturally she is curious about how old people are. She asked Mr. Aitch how old he is. Then asked him how old I am. She told him that I don’t look that old.

We were sitting on the front step Friday evening and she said to me, “I know you’re old. But you don’t look old.”

“How old do I look?” I asked.

“In your 30s.”

Wow! I’ll take that!

  1. I told one of my cousins that I had a recent picture of her half-brother I would send her since they live a gazillion miles apart. I said, “he looks good, old, but good.” She said, “well, we all look old!” I said, “I don’t!” (He’s 83, she’s 67) (I’m having my 49th 21st birthday 🙂 ) Age is just a number.
