During the pandemic my then eight year-old grandson did his on-line schooling every day at my place so his toddler sister wasn't disrupting things. He sat with the laptop at my dining room table. Usually I was out of the picture, but once in a while I appeared in the kitchen background to make a cup of coffee or start lunch. One morning the kids were given a break and socializing when I walked over to the sink. A little girl interrupts: "Parker! Your papa is really OLD!" I could here the teacher giggling. I ran over and jammed my face in the computer screen. "So ya think that's funny? Mrs S, your 'really old' day is coming soon enough!" That had the kids laughing.
Later in the year Parker decided to take his classmates on a virtual tour of the trophy room. That made me quite the celebrity. Everyone wanted to hear stories about African animals. Now I'm not only really old, I'm really cool.
