Ahh, the things our little darlings do to make us feel "old". When my daughter was in 4th grade she was studying the presidents of the USA.
Mita: "Who was president when you were born?"
Me: "I don't know." (History was never my strong subject.)
Mita: "What year were you born?"
Me: " '52."
Mita, without thinking: "18 or 19?"
Oh well, what's another 100 years!
This reminded me of my favorite Alyssa story. It was on the eve of my 50th birthday and my 5 year old granddaughter Alyssa was spending the night. I had always had a weakness for pretty nightgowns and had a whole drawer full of them. We were getting ready for bed and she was looking through my nightgown drawer. "You sure have a lot of pretty nightgowns Grandma" she said. After pausing for a moment she continued. "Too bad that you are too old to look good in them." LOL Remembering this night always brings a smile to my face.
