Footnote: mrspdm and I had been looking after almost 6 year old great grandson for a few hours one day last week while his 3 year old sister was having minor day surgery on her thumb. Eventually it was time to reunite ggson with his mother so they could return home to Puketitiri and I was battling to secure him in his car seat so I could drive him to meet up with them.
Completely out of the blue and unprompted he said – YOU ARE OLD!!!

A long-winded version of the old joke: “I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers” 🙂
