This Just In
Emmett asks, "Dad, when I'm your age, how old will you be?"
David replies, "Well, right now you are 4, and I'm 34, so in thirty years you will be 34 and I'll be 64."
Helpfully, I pointed out that 64 is about how old Grandpa is.
Emmett asks, "When I'm as old as dad, how old will Grandpa be?"
I answered "He'll be 94. That's about as old as Grandma Jo."
Emmett asks, "When I'm as old as Grandpa, how old will Grandpa be?"
Dodging the obvious lesson in mortality, I answered "124."
Emmett laughed. "A hundred and twenty four, that's like, dead!"
And with that, I left the table and came to the computer to blog it.
