I was officially told I'm old last night

Last night I took my son and his family out to dinner. My four year old grandson asked me if when he gets old like me? if he will have to have his teeth welded in and have hair inside his nose?
Of course my son told him you don't say things like that to people. And my grandson says, I'm just curious. Because I want to be just like grandpa. ( needless to say that made my heart melt)[:D]
My daughter-in-law explained that of chairs by telling him it keeps the dust out of your nose. And that my teeth are not well damn, I just have Siver fillings in my back teeth. Because I got a cavity in those teeth and they used silver to fill the cavity. So they're not actually welded in, they just have silver in the holes
Anyway, he waits about five minutes, and he asked me if I had an iron at home. So I asked why is my shirt wrinkled. He says no your face is, and if you iron it with an iron it will take all the wrinkles out [:D][:D][:D]
Kids say the darndest things [:D]

But it IS a little disturbing when he so correctly says, "You can't do that because you're old. Right, Papa?"
My grandson is the same way, Rem. The unintentional "insults" are endearing, to say the least.

Yep, but we sill try. Today started out with watching them play t-ball. In between innings he would ask "will come over to my house and play with me until it gets dark?" Of course I did, and I loved every minute of it. Well let me tell you, my knees feel like they have red hot pokers stuck through them, I haven't been able to stand up straight because my back is killing me and my arms and chest feels like I pumped iron all day with no prior training. It's only 8:00 and I'm heading to bed because I'm so wore out.
He asked if I would come over tomorrow and play with him all day again. You better believe I will and love every second of it.[:D]
My Grandkids have been coached about making comments about older folks. The generation gap is a wee bit blurred in our family since my MIL is only a little over a decade older than me.
I don't scare easily, but that part scares the crap out of me.
I may need to try it as well. [:D]
Let me know how that iron works out.

The more I think about it, the more I'm wondering if it would work like a chemical peel. I know the initial results would like the same[B)][:I][:D]
Do not ask me how I know this!
Even I know I am old.
