Who Needs the Fountain of Youth?

This afternoon as we drove home from Ben's school, Ben and Abby had a conversation in the back about their ages, who's big, and who's old.  At first Abby said she was old.  Great, I thought, if she's old, then we're all in trouble.  (Although her request for a laptop and her own iPod next Christmas might lead you to believe she's older than two).

Like a reflex, in true big brother fashion, Ben said, no, he was old.  This improves our lot only slightly.

Then he paused to actually think for a moment and settled the whole matter, saying, "No, Abby.  None of us are old--not even Daddy."

Smile.
