Getting older is odd

I was talking to a kid the other day and relating pretty well, I thought. I'm down with the yoof. This was a pretty young kid, and I asked how old he was. 8. He asked how old I was. I had to think about it, as always, then told him. He looked at me with huge eyes. "Did you start at 1?"

I can't remember. I think I did. It was a long time ago. THAT long ago, though? Doesn't seem possible. laugh

That was a great question though, wasn't it! laugh
Got some grandparent jokes in my email today. I don't know why. I'm not a grandmother. But then there are glamorous granny competitions with contestants in their early THIRTIES so I guess I am just a late starter. Again.

Anyway.

A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said... "How do you make babies?"
"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."
Wasn't it just? I LIKE that kid rolling on the floor laughing
Last joke. Promise. (Feel free to add your own)

"Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."
When my son was 4, I took him to an afternoon concert by the local symphony. The concert was designed for children. We were sitting in the second row. The orchestra came out on stage and spent the next ten minutes tuning their instruments. During a lull in the tuning, my son stood up to face me and said in a loud voice (children cannot whisper) "Mum, this music is TERRIBLE!" Of course, everyone got a good laugh out of that. The conductor reassured him it would get better and, when it was over, looked over to him and asked if he had liked it. With a big smile, my son told him that it was much better than in the beginning. teddybear

Years ago while visiting a friend, we were sitting chatting with her two young children who were 3 and 5. Her 5 year old son had a birthday coming up and I asked him how old he would be (which I already knew). He told me 6. I made a big deal out of it. Then he asked me how old I was and I told him 23. there was a very long pause and then he said in a tone of disbelief "whoaaaa....that's OLD."
