Conversations with Coco

Coco: Who's your mom again?

Me: Grandma.

Coco: Who's her mom again?

Me: Grandma B, but remember, she just went to heaven.

Coco: Because she was really old?

Me (sad): Yeah. Pretty much. She was really old.

Coco: Am I going to get old?

Me: Oh, Coco, we're ALL going to get old, but it will be a VERY long time before you get old.

Coco: I don't want to get old!!

Me: I don't either!!!

Coco: But you're almost ALREADY old. You're 44.

Me: I AM NOT!!!!!!!!!! I'm 34!!

Coco: I was close! There's a 4 in it!


Nothing quite like being instantaneously aged a decade. Again. Should I be developing a complex?!
