A recent exchange…
The Rookie: Don’t kick me right now… I am taking medicine that makes me bruise easily (shows latest examples to grandson)
Grandson (with all the innocence and sincerity of a four-year-old): Are you Very Old?
Granny (from across the room, not previously participating in the conversation but compensating with volume): Yes.
The Rookie: Well, not quite as old as Granny, but almost. I will get to stop taking this medicine soon so we can play more then. :-)
